• Would it also be true that a 45' would cost no more in maintenance than a 40?
• From what I've seen the 45' seems to use about the same amount of fuel as a 40?

NO! There is a big difference on how much fuel they use. The heavier the coach, the more fuel it is going to use. My friend has a 40'Wanderlodge BB with a tag and he only gets 5-6 mpg. He has a detroit diesel. But his coach weighs around 40K lbs.
I have a 38'coach with the Cat engine which weigh's 30K and I get 8-9 mpg. So those heavy coaches with tag axles do use more diesel.
