After just completing a trip to the east coast for a month, I can not imagine doing that in a TC, Yes Back when We were 30-40 we did it with 2 kids, But not any more.
We left Butte Mt at 0600 this morning, arrived Oak Harbor Wa. 18:00 tonight. Our Coach ran 70 all day.
Can imagine doing that in a truck camper, 150 gallons of fuel does have its advantages, as does being able to have lunch on the run.
Long milage days come much easier in a Class A DP
Don't know how do you drive the camper, but my new truck is way more comfortable than any diesel pusher I have seen.
You don't hear the engine, most of the time you don't hear wind noise, usually the only thing that disturbs listening to Opera music is tire noise, but with Michelins it is not bad neither.
The 320 miles range on tank ain't bad neither. Even I did drove 700 miles daily in motorhomes years ago, the 300 seems to be good day on my retirement.
Than I can fill up my truck in less than 10 minutes. Try that with DP.
Not even saying that with TC I do zigzag in rolling traffic, when with DP you are stuck on slow lane.
I don't know what type Diesel Pusher you've traveled in, But for me even a entry level coach beats a truck every day.
