Not for manufacturers of high end coaches. Nobody who can spend a half
million on a coach should have any concern whatsoever about a grand or
two to fill the tank. For that matter, I don't think it will affect
the lower end class As, either. Even a "cheap" diesel pusher is going
to run $150k+ new. Who drops that kind of coin on a toy, then can't
afford a few grand here and there to operate it?

The guys selling the cheaper rigs, class Cs, etc, may not do so well.
Then again, maybe not. Most of 'em get 8-12mpg and even with gas
prices as high as they are, I still see people driving big V8 powered
4x4s to work every day getting the same mileage.

Myself, I bought a Honda Insight to commute with. 70mpg. I'm only
spending $30 a month to get to work now vs. the $200+ I was spending,
so it's an awful lot easier to pay the big bucks to operate the coach.
