class a or c
I have a 28' class c gulf stream, only had it 3 months, my wife and I feel it's a bit confining - we have a chance to buy 2000 31' Fleetwood southwind - its like brand new, 15,000 miles, very nice ...

up a little it more - my 28' class c with ford v-10 gets about 8.5 miles per gallon - what would I expect to get with either a diesel or
the ford v-10 on the class a 31' - thanks
Trying to narrow down MPG on any unit or a comparison of units with all the variants involved is about impossible. Year, Engine, Terrain, how it's loaded, wind, PSI, etc, all play a factor.
Expect 7-11MPG as an average. Some units will get less, some of the newer DPs will creep into the double digits but you pay for that. Most gassers get about 7-9. I don't think there is much difference in mpg from a C to an A. Same engine with a house bolted to it. Just a different house.
I stopped tracking MPG years ago. Figure I would still take the same trips anyway so why fuss over something that simply does not matter. In the grand scheme of things a few MPG does not really amount to as much as you think it will unless you take a lot of long trips. If MPG is really important, don't buy a MH. Buy a Prius and pack a tent.
