But I got power, many amenities, lots of room inside, 2 A/Cs, 3 beds (1 a queen), a refrig for 2 weeks of camping, a real bathroom, more storage than we got stuff, and can pull either a car, several motorcycles or a boat. Had a old class C that got 7-8, a class B that got 15-16, with no room, shower, poor bed, etc.
I've made many mods to get 9, but the Scan Gauge is biggest help. I'll keep my Monster, was hoping to find some help getting it to 10 mpg.

If you plan on putting many miles on that rig, you might consider re-powering with a 7.3 powerstroke. Don't even think about any of the newer Ford diesels. They are utter shyte.
I would think that a vehicle that can get 9 with the V-10, should get 14 or 15 with the powerstroke.
