Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Diesel pusher/puller


I have seen these terms on numerous posts and have never been able to figure out what they mean.  Will someone please tell me?  Thanks.

It's really quite simple. A pusher has the engine at the rear of the MH and the puller has the engine in the front.

Well that makes sense.  I didn't realize that you could have an engine in the rear.  I owned a Corvair years ago, and am familiar with the old VW Beetles with rear engine, but didn't realize they applied to anything like a MH.  Thanks for the enlightenment.

That is not that uncommon a thought pattern.  Many just have never considered the "pusher", but think of all the diesel buses in the cities and across the country.  It is one of the most proven engines out there.  We hardly hear our engine as we drive.
