RV Diesel Motor Home

Do the research for yourself and compare the benefits and drawbacks of the RV gas and diesel motor home offerings.

RV Diesel motor homes are recreational vehicles known as diesel pushers because the large diesel engine on the motorhome is located in the rear of the vehicle.

This engine pushes the vehicle powerfully from the rear down the road.

Most RV diesel motor homes are class A motor homes which means they are built on the chassis of the bus or a commercial truck.

RV Diesel motor homes are ideal for long camping trips and climbing through the mountains because they are very powerful and comfortable at the same time.

Visitor's story....

While diesel fuel costs more than gasoline to purchase, you can get much better mileage from diesel which can amount to considerable savings on a long RV motor home trip.

If you have a towable RV like a class C or 5th wheeler, be aware that the fuel consumption of your tow vehicle will rise dramatically as the truck will have to work harder.

Our camper van runs on gasoline and doesn’t cost us much more to run than our passenger van did, but if we had one of the bigger RV’s I’d opt for diesel.

Diesel for your recreational vehicle is available at just about every gas station in the country, so there is no worry about availability.

Our friends Jack and Nan have a new diesel motor coach that is less than a year old and they claim that due to the increased mileage, their running cost is actually less than they had with their old gasoline motor home.

If you are towing a car or toy hauler for your four wheeler, your fuel consumption will increase and you would do well to choose a diesel powered rig. After all, long haul trucks use this fuel because of the greater fuel efficiency. However gasoline burns cleaner.

When you set out to buy a towable mobile home, whether a 5th wheeler or travel trailer, you will have to have a vehicle capable of pulling the load. If you already have a truck then you don’t have a choice of fuel type. But if you have the RV and will be buying a new truck, I’d opt for diesel. It will cost less in the long run.

We own a camper van, however two years ago we rented a diesel class A to take our six grandchildren to Orlando to do the Disney park vacation trip. It was perfect. Except for lunch, we cooked all of our own meals and didn’t have to worry about the kids making noise in hotel rooms.

Most manufacturers offer both diesel and gasoline versions of their mobile homes, although sometimes you have to special order one or the other.
