The Winnebago has a pull down bunk over the driver area which is good for the 3 grandkids and a couch that turns into a queen.
Current coachman is 30’ this is 33’. Both are gas, diesel pusher is a whole lot more $ and complexity of stuff. New would have 22.5” tires, current one has 19.5”

I agree with AB. My parents were RV people and generally did very well buying used RV's - very well meaning they didn't get killed in depreciation. My Dad was in his mid-70s and not thinking clearly on his last purchase when he bought a brand new RoadTrek on a MB chassis/motor. He paid $120K for it (loaded to gills) and we sold it 3 years later when he could no longer drive for half purchase price. It had less than 10K miles on the clock.
Prior to that he bought a low mile used Monaco diesel pusher...a big one from a dealer in MT that was already depreciated 40%. He drove that for 5 years all over North America and lost little on the resale. YMMV.
