If you have to worry about MPG then RV'ing is not for you, cost of the setup TV/TT/5er will drive more into your budget, MPG is **** when towing with either diesel or gas however a diesel will have more torque to pull the bigger rigs A diesel will come with a hefty $7500 upgrade option.
I have a 2001 2500 HD with a 8.1 gasser and a 30ft TT @ 12k fully loaded. At 65 I get in the 8 MPG range. My friend has a 2003 2500 diesel and also tows a 32 ft 14k loaded TT he gets in the 6 MPG range.
Have fun in your search for what is right for your family.
