I get on average 8.6mpg with my 33ft Class A 454 TBI and thought folks with small C's would do better but most report about the same. Do you drive faster in a C because it is smaller,front end being less aerodynamic?
We now have a 24V on the E350 Ford chassis, only complaint is that there is not enough knee room for my husband. We have towed our almost 4000 lb Saturn Vue on short trips and our Goldwing trike on a trailer thousands of miles. We get the same gas milage as back in 2000 when we had a 32 ' class A
Many class Cs are just as wide and tall as class As. Mine was a full 8'6" wide and overall height with the AC was well over 11 feet. The large overhang has terrible aerodynamics. That's why the "full" Cs, regardless of length usually get 7-9 mpg, maybe 10 as a stretch, and the more aerodynamic "B-plus" Cs get 1-2 mpg better.
