Mpg varies a lot with terrain,(mountain grades vs flatlands), headwinds, and altitude as well as speed vs aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance. We get 7-9mpg with our 27 foot rig. I think that claims of 11 mpg may be based on inaccurate calculation. A class C motorhome is an un-streamlined box truck full of appliances, supplies, water, gasoline and occupants. If you can't afford fuel and all of the other costs of ownership and maintenance, motorhoming is not for you.
LOL I agree gas is the cheapest part of owning an RV. Two nights in our RV instead of a hotel and restaurant easily makes up for all the gas used on a week long RV vacation.
We went to DC for a week. We paid $350 gas total. One night in a hotel in DC is easily $200.
