Going from a 25 to a 31?
We just sold our 25 footer (27' overall) and looking to move up to a 31. Given they are the same chassis/engine, E450 V10, will mileage be much worse with the 31 because of its extra length and weig...

You will have significantly less cargo carry capacity on the new one. The additional feet add additional weight to the same chassis and, especially, tires that your old one had. I had a 31 footer once and it blew a number of tires over the short time I had it. It was overloaded even though we traveled as light as we could.
Yea, I always thought that was funny. These 31' basement models have tons of storage area, but you can't use it all and stay at a safe weight. Our travels will be just the wife and I for two or three days most of them time no more than 100-200 hundred miles away and we aren't the type to pack the "kitchen sink".
We have not ruled out a shorter Class A with 19.5" tires, but not sure one will fit under our enclosed cover. Would be REALLY close.
