Naw you got it wrong Chevy is GMC's Gods Mechanical Crap and Ford is First on Race Day. Just had to get that in Used to be a sales Manager for Autos years ago and we had GM and Ford. I rank Autos Ford #1, Chrysler #2, Everything Else #3 and GM Last.

That's a good one. I've also heard the Fiat as: Fix it Again Tom.
Then there is the one that goes: If you listen real close on a windless night you can hear a Ford rusting....{ducking from Shayne}

There always seems to be, and always will be, the "Chevy-Ford" discussion. I just wanted to "play" with Shayne a bit. ;D
Shayne, are you coming to Quartzsite?

Stop it guys and gals. Janpaul asked a legit question and you have hijacked his thread and flooded it with humorous but meaningless bull. Put yourself in the originator's shoes and think what you would say if this happened to your own inquiry.
Sorry to be a spoilsport - I know you are just kidding around. But this has been happening a lot lately and folks with legitimate questions can be really put off when their inquiry is ignored and the regulars run away on some tangent. So let's talk about mpg in this thread and have the fun & social chitchat in its appropriate place.

Have owned MHs for 40 years and never found one that bave good mileage nor worried about it Bigger Trucks don't give good mileage and an RV is a Truck not a pickup but a Truck so forget mileage and just learn to be happy with the enjoyment of RVing RVing is pleasurable hobby not a money saver nor an economy factor. You play you pay. JMHO If mieage is a worry wait till the depreciation factor sets in. Now theres a big $ savor NOT

Shane,
We bought ours, a "new" one, a few months old. (2005, in 2005.) I figured the other guy took the big first year depreciation. Whoopee! I saved that!
The second year, however, is nothing to sneeze at, either! I have watched the market value drop like a balloon stuck with a pin. It'll slow down, eventually. It's the greatest expense, even on a used one. If I could have spent that money on gas, I could have gone around the world, by now.
Fuel is not the big expense, and not by a long shot. I drive in the mountains, with the Onan running most of the time, for airconditioning, and get 8 to 9 mpg. Happy with that.

Oh, my!
Shane, I think we hijacked a hijacked thread! What's the penalty for that? ???

Yeah, and the reason you have quiet summer nights is because the Chevy's won't start! ;D
My first truck was 1969 GMC, then a 1979 International Scout, a 1989 Mitsubishi, a 1989 Ford Bronco, a 1999 GMC and currently a 2005 Dodge. I liked everyone I ever had! They all did just what I wanted them to do at the time.
