I don't really want to muddy the water here but I am going to throw this in. I have a Sport touring motorcycle. (Yamaha FJR) It gets very good mileage for it's size and power. I have just gotten into the 5th wheel camping life.
Going on a vacation same amount of time away, the costs are about the same.
Why is that you say?
The motorcycle gets good gas mileage but we have to stop at restaurants and stop at hotels.
The 5th wheel yes uses more diesel but we buy food for the trip and stop at rest stops to eat and camp in campgrounds at far less than a hotel.
It's a wash!
Now would I use a gas powered truck to pull my 5th wheel.... no way!
