Moving On From a Diesel Motorhome Back to Gas

[Boat Bum]

I hear you. My old boss had to have the biggest Searay in Buffalo, NY, compared to friends and acquaintances at the marina. So he bought a 45' Sundancer, I believe that had twin diesels. I think Cummins 8.3L. One day at work, my boss comes in dirty and in a foul mood. I asked, "Hey, Chuck, what's the matter?" and he replied, "Those damn diesels each take 20 quarts of oil." The boat nearly bankrupted him. Boy, did he have a hard time selling it.

I had to laugh, it's always the Sea Ray guys.

Sorry to hear about your DP issues. We have had our 2007 DP for over 10 years it has a freightliner chassis that has been flawless on all the hours and miles on the chassis and engine. Our engine is a Mercedes Diesel. I am sold on the diesel and would not go back to gas. Totally a personal choice based on personal needs.

The Entegra Esteem is R5 in the walls, R24 in the ceiling, and R9 in the floor.

The Esteem is on an F-550 chassis and is billed as a Super C. This is not a typical economy "Class C". The tanks have heating pads which indicate they are outside or in unheated compartments. Where is all the plumbing. Still propane heat, hot water, and a single 30,000 BTU furnace. MSRP starts at just over $300K. I would consider this for the 4X4. This may still be somwhat limited for true winter use. With the limited battery capacity there will be a lot of reliance on the generator.
