My old Toyota Dolphin averaged 12-13 mpg. Slow as heck but putting gas in it was no biggie....

Great advice...I think Bill on this site is irritable because he owns a Bounder that gets about no miles per gallon. I would be cranky, too....But he insists that that is how it is...Nope......The Sunrader has the superb engine and goes slowly. i don't mind....I simply must have 15-17 mpg or I...

I own two Sunraders one is a 1983 with a 22R motor 4-speed 21ft. The other is a 1988 with a 22RE, auto trans, it is 18ft. Runs strong with over 200,000 miles on it. Gets 17 mpg on the highway. Chuck (Random web posting)

starstarstarstarstar 1986 Winnebago Lesharo by: Anonymous turbo diesel, front wheel drive. 22mpg I've owned 6 of these. I have gotten as high as 24 mpg once or twice. (Random listing on the web....)

good info....but I believe my fear of vehicles and cost stems from my Mother giving me a fixed amount of money when i was a kid  to go to swim class in a taxi. i would watch the taxi meter-ping ping ping.....wondering if I had enough cash to cover the trip. Always hated that-especially when at a...

Bill: That Bounder for sale-you sent me the link-what would you estimate it would cost me to drive that thing from here to where I want to be in the summer, 424 miles one-way. I would not be towing anything.....jeep, Plymouth Neon nada....it's a hilly 424 rising to 7000 feet from 598 feet above...

The Toyota dolphin was grossly underpowered.....Imagine a 4 -cylinder motor trying ti pull that weight. it did get you there after a while.  My memory is of 13.5 mpg.

i appreciate the link but I really don't like Class A motor homes...They always remind me of Greyhound and I doubt I could drive one without piling it up. I really want a class c or a class B.....we used to have  a Toyota Dolphin which was actually a Toyota pick-up truck with a manual tranny so...

I have never checked the mileage on my house....My goal is to avoid the Ford 460 motor. Nearly every older motor home I see seems to have that very engine.

It seems as if these sorts of RVs only get 10-15 mpg. Even an older ford Brougham I looked at fetches 10-15. Should I be happy with that? The alternative seems to be Road Trek, so you lose all the living space and are stuck in a van with two people but you gain mpg. Or is there another way to...
