I tought/dreamed I would see better MPG on this smaller Thor class A. It is a newer model and presume it should use more effiecient technologie.
When I talk to some seller, many claim they do 9 to 10 with their small RV, even 11 to 12 with the last guy I talked to, he has an 8.1. I guess there is no issue, pay the gaz or stay home!! and hope fuel price stay calm for the next years.
That seems to be a commonly shot down dream. They pretty much all still have the same flat front end these days so as to maximize interior room. I got about 7.5mpg with my gas powered truck pulling a TT and now I get about 7 with our gas class A.
There were more aerodynamic MHs in the past but then came the slides and the want for more interior room and storage. I'm sure that they could probably build a somewhat egg shaped MH now with a slide but probably at such a high cost that a potential buyer wouldn't care much about the price of gas anyhow.
