Diesel Pusher or Gas Powered Motor Coach

Do you know the difference between a diesel pusher and a gas powered motor coach? If you are in the market for this top of the line Class A recreational vehicle it will be important for you not only to know what the differences between a diesel pusher and a gas powered motor coach are, but also which one would be best for you and your budget and lifestyle. Many future RV owners may think that cost is the most important factor, but you should also consider power and features as well. The diesel pusher has many qualities which may make it a more appealing and practical choice for your RV.

Don’t be put off by the price tag you see on some diesel pusher models. The top of the line models are generally more expensive than gas powered, but they are also the most luxuriously equipped. Manufacturers do this to appeal to their high-end clients. However, it is also possible to get a smaller or more basic diesel pusher for a price that is comparable to a gas-powered Class A. But remember, the most basic Class A RV is still the most spacious and luxurious recreational vehicle on the market.

A diesel pusher is more fuel efficient and powerful than a gas powered RV. The fuel tank is generally larger as well. This is important if you are planning on towing a car or boat behind your RV. You can also travel farther and up steeper mountains with less engine strain if you have a diesel engine.

Whether you choose a gas or diesel powered motor coach, you will find that they are roomy and have lots of storage space. This makes them appealing for families and people who plan to spend a lot of time on the road. They are fairly simple to drive and maneuver if you have a little practice.
