We finally found our RV. Picked her up this weekend. The search was a little longer than anticipated because we wanted a specific floor plan with the Onan diesel generator. Thanks for everyone's help during the process. Here are some pics....
Beautiful RV!! That's one of my favorite floorplans - it's one of the few smaller RV's that Ed (at 6'3") can comfortably sleep in! Have a wonderful time with it!

Congrats! You will love it! I've already put 200 miles on mine coming back from OKC. Average 16.9 MPG over the 200 miles, but I have a heavy foot.
Great mileage! Our Navion also came with the diesel gen (we bought our RV used, so inherited it). Nice option.

I personally will not buy a motorhome in Texas unless the generator tees from the gasoline or diesel tank. LP gas gens are fine, but they just don't have the runtime to be useful come more than half the year.

That is a cool trip you went on. Yeah, we will either rent a car or use UBER.

The fact that I pulled up and backed into my driveway on the first try made me smile ear to ear. Part of the reason I got a smaller RV is not having to tow a car and driving it around.
Looks like a lot of fun! Enjoy it! See you out there!
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.
