Except it's still a Moho. A distinctly space and weight inefficient RV. Fuel burn will still be higher than an aero trailer with more living space and well chosen tow vehicle.

Having to tow another vehicle behind it is the "answer" to its shortcoming for local touring or grocery runs.

"Efficiency" with an RV starts with the premise that re-supply (of every kind; and water, electric & sewer are included) is the denominator: How many nights in one location for how many people? That's where to start.

Thus, fresh water supply is king.

A Moho gives this up in favor of having been designed as a commercial vehicle with a service life X10 what the owner of the RV will utilize. A penalty that can't be overcome.

All this is before price comparison.
