My wallet vs. 31' E-450 V10 Motorhome's MPG
Whose gonna come out ahead with the least amount of damage?
I leave tomorrow to fly to Phoenix where I pick up a Sunseeker 31' class-C, V10 powered, 5R110 & 4.10 geared motorhome for a trek across the country to the Cincinnati area. I'll have my wife and four kids with me for the three weeks that we'll be traveling.
I'm banking on 6MPG but am shooting for 8MPG. Think I can get 8?

It depends on the route that you take. Out West you will probably be encountering a lot of mountains and hills so I'd count on the 6ish. Once you get to the central US like NE, IA, IL and western OH you should see an increase. Like mentioned above though, it will all depend on how heavy your right foot is.
Have fun, enjoy and remember, keep the rubber side down.

Ha ha ha... yeah, right. 60mph. That might last until you get to the TX panhandle and the lure of that long, straight highway is too much and you can't resist the temptation of 80mph. The only thing that might keep you going slower is the wind. Be prepared as we have a lot of it!
On the bright-side, gas is UP to $3.89/gal here. From what I hear, that's pretty cheap compared to other locations, so burn all you want. We'll make more.
Don't forget that some places like Wal-Mart and Flying-J will allow RVers to park overnight. That can really help save some money by not having to pay for a campsite. Plus, a lot of camps may be booked due to the holiday.
Good luck and be safe. See ya when you get here to T-town!

And if you don't get my PM (no idea what happened to the e-mail I sent), let me know here in this thread and I'll get you my contact info somehow.
