We're looking for a 21 or 22 foot unit, and I've noticed most come with a Ford V-10. What kind of fuel economy (or lack thereof) can one expect from a V-10 on the highway? Thanks in advance for the answers.

Walk into shower. Some showers you have to step up to get into them.
Corner shower, some are bigger than others. Big ones are real roomy inside.
Counter space by the kitchen sink for food prep.
Large outside rear storage. They can be up to 100cu ft.
No window over the headboard of the bed. Keeps bedroom more comfortable on hot days or real cool nights.
Livable with slide(s) in.
A north south bed that is offset to one side. That gives you room to walk & dress on one side.
60x80 real queen bed. Uses standard bed sheets and such.
Ford E450 or Chevy 4500 chassis. Having had both I have found the Chevy handles cross winds & passing big rigs better.
Just a comment. All class Cs have an overhead above the cab designed to be a bed or audio center. It is a great place for storing things. My current rig has lots of storage behind the large TV in the audio center.

I have no brand loyalty with cars, trucks, or RVs. I buy what will work for us / we like / & is available when we want or need the item. With that said, the Ford V-10 has a long-standing track record of being a reliable powerplant, the E-chassis has been made by the bushel basket for eons, & so what that amounts to is these guys are known & available.
Fuel average right about 10mpg traveling between 60-65.
The ONLY wish (not really a regret per se) is that our rig had a walk-around bed. We love the relative portability/simplicity of a 25ish ft coach with no slide for around traveling adventures. Makes it a lot easier to get away with stopping overnight in a parking lot / rest area etc.

I think length will have less of an effect on mileage than how you drive, weather conditions and the drivetrain. Either way, if you have a gas 1 ton basically either brand, theyโll get similar mileage to pulling a TT with a pickup.

I am a Chevy guy through-and-through. Since birth. My current rig is my third RV since 1999, the other two were Chevy chassis. I love Chevy, I love the LS V-8, my daily driver is a Chevy with the LS, we have several in the family. Nothing against Chevy. My "new" RV is n the Ford chassis, and its no joke. We bought it new this spring so only about 5k miles of experience, but in that short time owning this rig I have a new respect for Ford. We've been all over WA, OR, ID, UT, NV this year from sea level to 8k, and the Ford V10 is a beast in a rig my size (small.)
What I'm getting to is don't discount Ford's due to brand loyalty. I'm as Chevy as they come. But the Fords are super popular for a reason. We love our smaller Class C and wouldn't change a thing about it. We are only in 5k miles, but are averaging mid to high 9mpg (we have the 6 speed) and we are not easy with it(we did 70-75 through Utah and Nevada.)

16 mpg, great.
But very limited storage, only comfortable chair was the driver's seat.
Since 2015, we are on the road 80-100 nights a year. 25' was efficient, highly maneuverable, but just too small.
Selling it.
