but not found an answer to my specific question.
I am looking at class a's with Gas V10 engine and wondering from those of you who have a V10 class A what fuel mileage are you getting with you coach. I am looking in the 32 to 36 foot and in the 2010- 2014 year range. Yes I know that diesel is better, but they are a lot more expensive up front.
Thanks for the info from those with a gas coach.

Fire up is right, indeed. 2013 Tiffin Allegro 36LA, 6.5 - 9. FROG makes little difference.

Well Sir,
If you're looking fro specifics, don't expect anything high. NO MOTORHOME get's any decent fuel mileage. They're not built for that. About 99.9% of them hover in the 6.5-9 range. And those that claim much higher, well, we'll just have to take their word for it. The V-10, just about any version, is great motor. The earlier versions, circa '99 plus or minus, hovered around 275HP but, the later ones, especially the "three valve" versions, snuck up to around 345 or 365 HP, I forgot.

But, they're hauling a ton of weight, so, gas mileage is not a top priority. Obviously, if you're really light footed (accelerator pedal) and, you're not towing anything, and are as lightly loaded as possible, you may, creep up into the 9-10 mpg range. Good luck.

Fire up has it right. My rig is a 2008 with V10. I was getting 6 and change. Changed the air filter and now getting 8 and change after a 2500 mile round trip. Thought I hit the lottery, lol!

When I owned a V-10 I got 7 MPG towing a toad 4 wheels down.

I had a 32 Foot Rexhall with the V-10 for two years back in 2002-2004. On the average tank (towing my Jeep Wrangler) I'd get between 9 and 10.5 I think I could get over 11 without the toad.

Not the year your looking for mine is a 2001 with 132+ thousand miles on it has always pulled a 4200 lbs toad. Get just a tad over 8 mpg depending on head winds and grade. Remember your driving a brick through the wind so slower speed below 60 mpg will get you better milage

8-10, based on how you are loaded, terrain, wind, psi, and a thousand other factors.

Just in case no one with a V10 answers..... Most RV'ers report between 9-15MPG. I'm sure the V10 MH will hit in the 12 or less range.

Advanced search, keywords "v10 mpg", all words any order,class a

Lots of ways to play around with that. A bit more difficult to narrow it down to those lengths and years.

You can also use Google.. put this "v10 mpg motorhome" in the google search bar.

First search for `V10' in the Class A section then search the results for `mileage' and read on.
If you search for `V10 mileage' there likely will be no responses with that exact phrase.
