- kstormsExplorerThanks - so at 10 mpg on average i can see how often I would have to fill up....
I know that gas engines typically do not last as long as diesel...but I am leaning towards a gas engine because:
The average RV is less than diesel
Maintenance is usually less
And - if I have heard this correctly, I can get an RV serviced at any auto service center that can service a car (as long as they have the capacity to accommodate the size of the RV - and I am getting one that is less than 30 ft...) which is nice if something happens on the road. - IAMICHABODExplorer IIBasically, Ford based class C is 55 Gallons.
Chevy Based Class C is 57 Gallons. - kstormsExplorerFor most Class C gas RVs - is there a standard size gas tank and how much can it hold?
- kstormsExplorerOh, thanks....

If you are looking for used RV's, the 2008 View (2007 Chassis) was available with a 3.5L gas engine, and you will find one on occasion. They are usually quite a bit cheaper than the diesel model, but still get (from what I have read on View forum) about 12 mpg or slightly better. Only issue is, it is still a Mercedes.
Currently there is one on RVTrader and it is a H model with the only permanent bed being the over cab bunk, and the dealer wants a fortune for it.
I'd dare say that most C class MH's are gas powered, especially the smaller ones. Don't need to look far to find one.

Charles - kstormsExplorerThanks to all for the great info - very helpful......
- mlts22Explorer IIThere are a ton of class "C"s. From the Coach House models made out of a one piece fiberglass shell to low end Thor models which are entry level.
If I had the cash and the storage for space for any type of motorhome, it would be a toss-up between a Lazy Daze or a Phoenix Cruiser.
