what mpg is everyone getting with and without an upgrade
Forum Discussion
I've generally averaged around 7.5 - 8.0 mpg, probably closer to the 7.5 mpg. 32' 1998 class C Coachmen Santara motorhome, nothing in tow, no engine or transmission upgrades (i.e. the four speed transmission). I don't use the motorhome because of its exceptional fuel efficiency, but rather for its other unique advantges.
Fuel mileage for a motorhome is quite dependent on speed and hills. If you want to improve your mileage, cruising at 45 mph will very likely do more to help you than 65 mph plus any engine or transmission upgrade you could reasonably make.
A plain E series van might get twice the fuel mileage using the same engine, or nearly so, if I remeber what I've heard properly from people who have them.
