The reason for the V10's in class A's and C's is it is cheaper than a diesel. Entry level RV's are the number one sellers due to price. A turbo diesel is going to lose very little power as the altitude increases. Normally aspirated engines like the V10 will lose way more. Weight for weight the V10 is not going to hang with a turbo diesel in the mountains. It simply can't do it. The V10 is no slouch, but it is not a turbo diesel.
