I am fairly new to motorhomes. Bought a 1999 Adventurer 37G in gas (Ford). Love the motorhome concept. Love the layout and the quality and support of Winnebago. Only issue is the coach is getting older. And there are lots of upgrades that we have been doing or planned. Now starting to think that maybe an upgrade to a newer coach would be in order.
Looks to me that diesel pusher is not necessary. Over perhaps a 60K miles lifetime of a coach in our hands, we would never recover the cost of the diesel in mileage savings. Our Ford V10 gas works very well. Can't see driving more than 10,000 miles per year. I'm thinking of about a 2005+- Winnebago in 35-40' length. I see Vectras, Journeys, Adventurers, etc from Winnebago. Can anyone sort out these models for me? Which ones are entry level, which ones are diesel, gas, which are high end with lots of options, etc?
I pulled up a 2005 Vectra which seems identical to the Adventurer layout in diesel. Is the Journey entry level diesel pusher? Or what?
