Which Motorhome is right for you... Gas or Diesel?
You may be wondering what the differences are between a gas-powered and diesel-powered motorhome (other than the type of fuel required!). Well, the primary difference lies in the foundation of the motorhome – the chassis. Diesel coaches are built on Monaco Coach Corporation rear-engine Roadmaster chassis. Gas coaches are built on either a Ford or Workhorse (General Motors powered) front-engine chassis. Generally speaking, diesel coaches allow for higher carrying capacity and towing capability due to the chassis and powertrain advantages. Gasoline powered coaches, on the other hand, are typically lower-priced than their diesel counterparts. Modern diesel and gasoline chassis both reach new levels of power and fuel efficiency and both types of motorhomes can provide endless fun and memories to last a lifetime.
