OP here - thanks to all who responded! We are on the fence at this moment whether to get an inflatable or carry our hard sided canoe.
It does seem that the mpg difference won't be much to consider... I just have a hard time picturing the big old canoe on top of the truck for long trips, just for the possibility of using it. We will be retiring within the next couple of years and will be taking longer trips - not to go to one CG with water, but to go all over - sometimes being near water.
We've got some time to think about it before we need to do something. :)
Wish I had a pic. You need a good canoe rack- camper or not. You are right- you LOOK loaded.
But canoe camping is EXCELLENT!
