Handling issues
I need help. I have been pulling a small 20 ft TT and have finally decided to upgrade to motorhomes. I read a ton of stuff here,looked at many and decided a small (26-30) ft class A or C would be best...

I don't measure our small Class C's gas mileage precisely.
I've had many, many tank fill-ups where the number of gallons of gas filled muliplied times 10 came out to be around the elapsed miles since the last fillup ... hence "around" 10 miles per gallon.
However, I use acceleration rates and highway speeds that are very conservative ... probably way too sluggish or slow for many drivers, so our E450 Class C mileage may not be typical. We don't have the additional roof air drag that solar panels create, don't tow, and use very high quality ( and very "slippery"?) engine oil.
