That's the sweetness right there. Congratulations, I'm envious! I guess if you can afford to buy a pimp rig like that, you won't mind the 7-8 mpg it takes to operate it. If someone gave me one for free, I couldn't afford the $1,800+ in fuel (at today's low prices)it drinks each 1,000 miles. While my TV of choice is much, much less capable, it costs me less than 1/10th as much ($160/1000 miles) to tow my diminutive, yet affordable camper. I'm sure the insurance alone is more than my total housing costs.

Where did you learn to do math? $1800 for 1000 miles? Not hardly 1000 miles at 7 mpg @ $4/gal = $571. And having been a previous MDT owner myself, he will have to drive full throttle stop & go to get the mileage down there, I estimate 8.5 mpg for the load he is looking at not babying it running 65 mph. Go faster get worse, slower & get better.
Many of us use our campers for more than weekends and an annual vacation. My rig is definitely not for most folks, but I also do not feel the need to talk down to others or slam them for overspending in their choice of rigs.
It's all about budget and use, and just going down the road enjoying the countryside & the folks we meet there.
Please buy a calculator if you are going to estimate.
