If you're asking about economy, you can't afford this.If you're asking about economy, you can't afford this.

If your asking about range, they will go further than a "happy camper" will want to drive on one day. or 2 days... We get over 500 miles per tank, and never drive more than 200 miles a day.

We boondock often. Our deisel genny is not loud at all, kinda a soft putter...
The factory 100 amp charger will bring the batteries up like nobodies business, and the built in 2000 watt inverter happily runs all our A/C appliances without being plugged in.
Just to make sure, I added 6 150 watt solar panels and a 60 amp outback mppt charge controller. On a bright sunny day, I get 60 amps into the batteries from the sun.

Tanks in my midsized dp are 100 - 60 - 40, and water management is for sure the most important thing whan we are away from hookups. With 3 including a teenaged boy onboard, 3 days without dumping is max. without the boy we can do way better...

The super C's seem more toward what you can tow behind you, which is pretty close to unlimited.
A big Class A will give more living space and also a smoother quieter ride.

It is not a question of money it is all about the feeling of security of having rang, That is why I added a 95 gallon AUX diesel tank to my truck.

It is about not having to worry if I happen to worry if I am traveling up north and get caught in an unexpected snow storm.If the road are closed I can be confident that I can part at some rest top and not just survive but thrive in comfort until the roads are plowed.

A few years ago I was headed up north to a funeral and almost got trapped at a rest area in a unexpected snow storm.
It felt good to know that if things got bad I could sit it out for as long as necessary with food and heat.
