Buying big gas hog tucks to tow RV's is not the way to save money. You can only tweak the parameters a little to make it seem like you're doing something positive.
That's my point. RV'ing is costly. The fuel used to pull an RV will be a substantial expense, There is not: a special gadget, an options package, an engine configuration or swap, or even a new fangled truck
that is going to make RV'ing inexpensive.
Don't get me wrong I value my money as much as the next guy.
I value the relaxation and enjoyment I get from RV'ing. RV'ing is worth every penny I spend on it. However the fuel used to RV is a sizable expense and always will be. The cost of fuel is just a part of playing the RV game. Other than slowing down and traveling at 55 MPH there is not much else one can do to significantly reduce the cost of fuel.
Now I do believe there are other things in life one can do to save money and divert those funds into RV'ing. But once your hooked to the trailer there is no way to keep the tank full without emptying the wallet.
