right tool for the right job -
If I were just a guy driving around in the van not towing anything regularly or not using it as a commercial vehicle the diesel value prop isn't there - Id go with a gasser myself.
In a self contained mobile business the genset makes a gigantic difference.The gas gensest are all archaic fixed speed air cooled units that swill fuel and frequently overheat.
In a non inverted rig well put 2K hours a year (vs 1 with an inverter rig) on a genset so lots of running hours - the longevity and fuel consumption are huge factors when used in this manner.
The gas gensets last about 8-10K, we had a diesel unit come through the shop with 25K hours on it - ran like a champ.
