Which is best for my motorhome, a gas or diesel engine? Veteran Full-timers and RV authors Barb and Ron Hofmeister offer this answer: ""The advantages of a gasoline engine over diesel is primarily the price. The new super chassis (both Ford & GM) make gasoline engine motorhomes a great buy. Not only are they less expensive than diesel, but they have good carrying capacity. Also oil changes and maintenance are less expensive with the gasoline models.



Can I tow something with the motorhome? All of the hitches are locked out, but we will unlock the hitch for use by permission only. This way we can monitor who is towing with the motorhomes and check for excessive brake wear. Our policy is that we will allow towing up to 2000 lbs. without brakes or up to 4000 lbs. if the trailer has ""surge brakes"". We reserve the right to test drive the motorhome upon return to inspect the brakes for damage. The renter is still responsible for brake damage even if they stay within weight limits.

What are the seat belt requirements? You must have one seatbelt for every occupant. If you are in the front seats then you must be belted at all times. If you are over 60 lbs. and in the rear of the motorhome then you are not required to be belted. Keep in mind that ""car seats"" usually will require two seatbelts to keep them stable. We recommend that car seats be use in the dinette area. We do not encourage children to ride in the ""cab over"" area while the motorhome is in motion.
