I sold my 42 foot Foretravel and ordered a 26 foot Born Free. I ordered t on a pickup chassis a dodge 5500 so it will be 29 foot overall. I looked at the sprinters and their 11k rating was too much of a compromise to use as a motorhome. Towing was reduced as was carrying capacity. I decided to downsize after 16 years and 360,000 miles. The mile per gallon was not important but the ease of use and where I can go was the deciding factor. I looked at earthroamer but could not see myself getting that far off the beaten trail and they were not comfortable enough inside so I compromised and got the Born Free on the 4x4 chassis with dual alternators fuel tanks and solar.
