In my life I've had 2 motor homes. The first one was a 2000 Damon Intruder, 34 footer, V-10, 3 speed tranny. Lower horse powered engine. We got around 7 mpg driving around 60 mph. the one I have now is a 2007 Winnebago Vista, 30 footer, Ford V-10, higher horse power engine, 4 speed tranny w/tow haul mode. I drive it at around 60 mph and still get around 7 mpg. And I could say it had any more power then the 2000 model. Probably was gear different.
My brother has a 2005 class B. It's on a Ford E450 Ford frame, 25 foot long, 2 slides, and has the Ford V-10 engine. And take a guess on the gas mileage he's getting. Answer is: 7 mpg
And yes, if you drive them faster the mileage really goes down big time.
