I agree that you get a lot more value from a Class C than a B. In our case, Ed had been initially hoping to find something under 10' tall, so it would fit into a spare garage we own - but for the price difference and practicality of a "C" - I pointed out that we could afford to build whatever we buy its own tall garage and STILL be dollars ahead....LOL!
We are leaning towards something with a corner-queen bed and a cabover bed, simply so I don't have to make up and tear down beds on a daily basis. (The corner queens also offer massive storage space) The Thor 22E and 23U floorplans have risen to the top of the list. After reading that the 19G gets between 8 and 10 mpg, I realize that there's almost no fuel savings in going too small. Our previous 28' widebody got 8.5 mpg (or 8 when pulling a toad). We suspect that model was an unsold rental unit - it was pretty "basic" - but that meant that it was incredibly easy to dump the tanks, winterize, etc.
The 19G is one of the few C's I've seen that has an aero cap that you can sleep in! Wish more models had that!
On my first few trips out I have been close to 14mpg overall. This is mostly on flat ground with and without head winds. I still need to do some longer trips but with the truck camper I was getting the worst MPG on the flats so hoping this is true of the 19 as well.
