Subject: diesel/gasser comparison Author: Steve Hutter [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10/ 2/ 09, 4:38am I am trying to understand the full difference between a diesel or gasser wanderlodge of any given year. > > It seems hard to find much info on the powertrain difference, could any gasser peeps, give any insight to thier experience with a gasser unit. > > The area that I can't seem to find any info on at all is the chassis. Other than the gasser (usually a Ford industrial 391 (I think))Is there any difference in an FC gasser unit as compared to the diesel. Do they both have the air ride suspension? Do they both have airbrakes? Are the chassis identical? Do they both have 22 inch tires? Do both have brake assist system (Maybe not a jake for the gasser,but a retarder of some sort)? Are there any other difference other than just the engine? > > Any info would be great. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: diesel/gasser comparison Author: Jerry R [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10/ 2/ 09, 5:57am In all my work looking at BB over the last 3 years I discovered the the rear diesel pushers are built stronger, are easier to work on and will last longer than their gas siblings. The other stuff (retarders, air bags, etc. are about the same. I am so glad I bought diesel (rear pusher NOT FC). I hope to get many years of fun from it. Diesel may cost a little more to maintain but well worth it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
