For those planning on traveling a lot, a diesel engine may be a good choice. One reason is that a diesel engine will last longer in comparison to a gas engine. This is a fact. It is why large commercial trucks all have diesel engines in them. One advantage to consider in a diesel engine motorhome is torque. With a diesel engine the horsepower peaks at a lower RPM, and there is more torque at a lower RPM compared to a gasoline engine. This results in a diesel engine having much more power at a lower RPM. This higher torque and higher horsepower at a lower RPM equates to a longer lasting engine. And, for all those considering pulling a heavy travel trailer or fifth wheel a diesel engine in your truck is probably a better choice as well.
