Some reviews I've read on the Winnebago trend are getting around 14 mpg, which is about double the ford v-10. For now the front seats do not swivel like the Winnie.

Our 24' RV on an E350-V10 averaged 10.5mpg across an entire 5000 mile trip not towing. We loose 1 mpg when towing.

In 1983 we bought a Toyota chassis motor home with single rear wheels (SRW). Through a half-breed recall, I later upgraded the rear axle to true duel rear wheels (DRW) with "D" rated tires. I've been very shy endorsing any motor home with SRW since. The VW chassis Rialta & Vista had SRW which had me shying away from them when shopping in 2005-2007. I just can't see a single rear wheel back there holding up a house, people, gear & food, fresh water, and tow something. Also adding a significant rear over-hang too. It just doesn't seem right.

Give it a year or two and I bet Dynamax will have replaced the SRW Dodge Promaster with the DRW Ford Transit. It only makes sense to do so.....unless Dodge introduces a HD DRW chassis.

Well, it's not double a Ford V-10 in a Class B+ the same size as the Trend. More like 14 vs 10, I would guess. Our Chevy 6.0L 23' B+ got 11-12.

Yup, I am quite interested in the Dynamax Rev TB as well. Lots of features for the money. I, too, wonder about the single rear wheels. For me the MB Sprinter chassis and diesel are the benchmarks. I would consider the Ford E350 or E450, but I like many aspects of the Ram Pro Master 3500 chassis and engine. Not much available yet to see in terms of Dynamax Rev TB videos, etc. Looking forward to hearing and reading more about the Rev TB. I don't plan to tow, so I am not concerned about its tow rating. Interested in its MPG, though.
