Thinking mechanical and value
To downsize I must go one of two ways so Dw will drive. She says no A's or 5th wheel. So I've found a 1986 Toyota 20' with 24,000 Org. miles loaded w/ low hr gen and new tires $7000. Another find ...

I had a 1986 Toyota Dolphin that I bought new and a1989 Odyssey on a Toyota chassis and both had the 22re 4 banger. They were somewhat underpowered and one had a tendency to keep the gas pedal floored especially when climbing hills at about 45 mph. The result was 11-13 mpg average. And my right ankle was sore from stroking the gas pedal all the time. Oil mileage was about one quart per 1,500 miles all because the engine was running full bore all the time. The Odyssey was so overloaded that I was constantly burning spark plugs.
Now I have a 2005 PW with a 6.8 L v10 that has power to burn and I still get about 11-14mpg because the engine is loafing most of the time. My oil mileage is about 1/2 quart/7,500 miles.
I say stay away from the micro mini's. Be a MAN and explain all this to your wife and tell her I said so.
