To be honest, mileage wasn't even part of my calculation. It's an RV... the mileage sucks no matter what.
There are no truer words than that. :) People seem to be so hung up about gas mileage you'd think they would just drive a Prius and sleep in a tent.
Well in my case gas mileage played a small role in deciding which unit to buy. I use our Chevy base class C RV for business and get between 10.5 and 11 mpg pulling a 3000# cargo trailer. I drive about 20000 miles per year which means that I use about 1800 gallons of gas per year. At say 3.70 per gallon that's $6600.00 per year on gas. If I was getting 10% less mileage on a Ford base that would be about $660.00 less im my pocket at the end of the year. This may not seem like alot of money to some folks but for us it is a huge chunk of change. With our F-150 that we used to pull with I was getting 10mpg. tops. Saving money on hotel rooms was a much larger factor on our decision to buy a motorhome but the gas does figure into it also.
