Hi, I saw this review and was amazed by the poor MPG on a small class A. It does not seem to make any difference if the RV is small or big.
It shows 7.1 MPG, gees, my nephew drives a 45 ft. semi and he gets a bonus when he averages over 6.2, he gets the bonus every time.

I think it is too bad that there is no competition in Class A Gaz Engine now, no effort is made by Ford to reduce MPG, people just take it for granted, there no other choice anyway. I would take a little less power for a little more MPG.

I am shopping for a class A, but the MPG is a killer, especially that I put on around 20,000 miles a year.

My advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Yep. You are pushing a brick through the wind. The front profile is to blame as
much as anything else.
