prius and hotel combo. if you aren't happy burning some dino juice this is the wrong path for you
I had to laugh at this. That's exactly what we've done. We parked our TT permanently 3 years ago, due to health issues. Sold the truck *which got 13mpg on a good day* and bought a Prius, which gets 50mpg. The first time we went camping we felt a little tug at our heart. It was too easy--just throw the clothes and the pup into the Prius and drive to the campground. Hook up the water and power and voila! We're camping in 10 minutes. At the end of the trip we clean up, unhook, and drive off. THAT was the great part!
Since then, we've enjoyed traveling with the Prius and staying in hotels. It costs less than towing the trailer and getting a campsite (I don't do Flying J or Walmart.)
To address the original topic: I have no experience with a MH, but when we went cross-country in 2007 with our TT I was unprepared for how bad our mileage was going to be. Thankfully, we had reserve funds but I'm telling you there were times when we were in the Rockies that we got a blistering 6mpg!
