We have been very satisfied with our '98 Coachmen Lepracaun 3050. We purchased it in 2011 with 110K well maintained miles (100K service done); all service records from the one (original owner). We have driven it 2X's from Maine to Florida and back. We constantly average right at 8MPG (last month we were at 7.7 round trip to Florida, but that included running the generator all day long while driving (to run the coach A/C-- close to 97 degrees). We also came home thru the mountains on I77/I81: Sufficient power for the hills- did have to turn the dash a/c off couple times to keep the temp gauge from climbing (first time ever that the temp gauge ever moved). Rig drives very comfortable at 62 MPH---- not so much as you get to 65 and higher.
The '98 is on what they called E SuperDuty (same as what is now called E450.
The Coachmen Lapracaun appears to have been a well built with alot of features (probably a mid to upper mid level brand at the time).
I haven't yet towed the car with it yet-- I can see where it might lose its breath in the hills, but then again I am running more than 31 ft.
Best of luck!!
