.... but, but, but can your neighbor take a potty break and a shower when they get to where I couldn't go?? :C

Hmmmmn ... perhaps not exactly true.
Our current E450-based 24 foot Itasca Class C does handle about equal to the 1962 MGA I had several years when attending college - of course our Itasca does take 5 gears to do it where the MGA only had 4. As a fresh comparison, the Cobra roadster I took a ride in Saturday kindof whipped them both. :B

Phil Here, I will say it over and over again.
My 2002 24 Ft. Dutchman Class C with a Ford V10 gave my 8 to 9 Mpg.
My 2004 22 Ft. Minnie Winnie Class C with a Chevy 6.0 V8 now gives me 10 to 11 Mpg. and it handles like a sports car. Three more miles per gallon sure makes it bearable on a three to four thousand mile road trip................................

Interesting. The Chevy 4500 as tested had the same engine, V8 6.0L, as the 3500HD, so would that mean that the 3500 would also out-perform the Ford with the V10?

Consistently getting 10.5 to 11.2 mph with Chevy 4500 running 58 to 60 mph. Normally about 1700-1800 rpm. Full fuel and water tanks, 2 adults, and food and gear for week to ten days.

Compared to the Fords.
Can anyone report on their Chevy 4500 Class C motorhome's gas mileage?
