Glad you had a safe trip and are back fully relaxed and ready to go to work. I managed to fix my cruise control today, I really need to get off my keester and cut the grass, It still hasn't been fully cut since I got back from my trip. I still hate cutting grass as it aggravates my allergies. I also am not sure it is worth over $5.00 per gallon to cut. Takes my mower about 5 gallons to cut the place so $25.00 plus to mow.
We did have a great time and the entire 3 week trip including van rental, gas, food and misc, cost us about $2,500, which is about $1,000 less than what gas would have cost for the motor home figured at 8 mpg.
In this situation, I am glad we rented a van.
Glad to be back. Hope everyone is doing well! I missed you all. :)
So inquiring minds want to know - what did you rent? What type of fuel and what was your MPG?

Rented a Ford Transit medium top cargo van. Being 6' tall, I could stand up pretty straight in the cargo area, as long as it was not under one of the roof ribs. They were head knockers.
Engine was gasoline, with a v6 and 10 speed automatic trans.
20.5 mpg for the entire trip which was roughly 5500 miles. Roughly 2000 miles were on Interstate roads, at about 65 mph. Most of the rest mileage was on 2 lane roads, sometimes through small towns.
The 2 lane roads were usually between 55 and 65 mph.
The van was basically a 2500, and a 2020 year with about 28000 miles on it when we rented it.
We had close to 12 feet behind the pilot and co-pilot seats for cargo. Inside overall width was 68".
