We have a 2015 Jayco Seneca 37HJ and our milage so far is:
Flatlands of FL, LA, AND TX = 9.5 to 10.5
Hill country of AL, GA and MS = 8.5 to 9.5
The unit is still fairly new so the milage might change with more miles.

The major problems with the 6.0 were from head bolts and those caused head gasket issues and that caused coolant issues and EGR cooler leaks and so on.
The 6.7 is still not a match for the DuraMax. GM has bought out Isuzu's stake in the Dmax and it has been the same engine since 2000 with the Allison 1000 trany. Ford has gone through 4 diesels to try to match the DMax and the Cummins. I only have a Ford because of the type of RV'ing we do and needed 4x4, otherwise I would have stayed with a GM product.
I owned 3 DMax pickups (2000, 2006, 2011) I drove a cumulative mileage of almost 400,000 miles towing and working those trucks. The biggest problem I had was with the 2006. Had to replace injectors but it was a warranty issue. Really didn't have to spend money for any other repair issues.
If Ford can keep the 6.7 on the road for 15 years without any issues then it can be said it is a great engine. Right now GM and Cummins are way ahead of Ford in the reliability department.
Also, the 6.7L PSD is rumored to be the most expensive engine build in the market trying to meet emmisions.

I agree with all of the above about "Ford" diesel engines. IIRC, if you check specs, you'll find he Van/Class C iteration of the Diesel does NOT produce the HP and Torque everybody brags about in pickups. There are space and cooling issues in the E-Series so the diesel is de-tuned. The V10 performs about like the PSD in a pickup. The V10 will outperform the PSD in a Class C.
I want a Ford Chassis, Cummins Engine, Allison Transmission...

From all the reading and reports from those particular Ford diesel owners - the consensus is as follows: The 7.3 PSD yields a solid 10 to 10.5 mpg, and the 6.0 PSD yields a solid 11 to 12 mpg on the highway mostly driving of them. I'm not up on the 6.4 PSD or even if the 6.7 PSD is even installed in the E450s nowadays.
What would an approximate MPG be on a 27ft Class C with a Ford 450 diesel? I realize there are many variables. Thanks in advance.
