lets see now - Big trailer or motorhome getting 6-8MPG or my OFF-ROAD POPUP getting 18-20MPG. The wind load is a bear to deal with.

Less move around space inside makes us sit outside more to enjoy the mosquitoes haha
I'm not beat to death after driving 300-400 miles either. A 450 mile trip to Gatlinburg with gas costing 3.50 a gal is around $85 for us - can make it on one tank. At 7MPG that would cost around $225 and three fill ups before we made 450 miles... 23 gallons verses 68 gallons or something like that... That would be a hugh difference for us...
We can also still drive through a McDonalds Drive thru window and order Big Macs - got the tummy to prove it...
Lots of things to consider going bigger - not always the best move for everyone. Everyone really doesn't have to move their complete household setup just to boggie down the road.
We have a great time on less monies. Our best camping times is usually off-the beaten path camping off the power grid anyway.
Not knocking the big guys at all here - just not for us...
