I just paid $6.71 per gallon for diesel

Granted, I'm currently in France. It's no wonder RVing isn't as popular here as it is in the United States.

57.32 Euros for 43.46 Liters. Doesn't sound as bad if you think of it in liters.
  • As a tour guide in Costa Rica told me... we have universal health care, but NO WELFARE. because no country can afford both..........
  • Bragging or complaining!!! RVing is very popular in France. At La Mans this year there must have been 500 RV's but only one large US version.

    :) :) good question:@
  • Where are you at? RV'ing is hugely popular in Europe.

    We rented a small unit a couple years ago in Germany and every little town had a camper stop for visiting. We got over 30mpg on the trip.

    We also saw lots of RV's around in France on a seperate trip last year.

    The small diesel units often get 25-30mpg, so fuel costs aren't nearly as bad especially with the short distances involved.
