I'm glad you're back, too. I had always wondered why you left for a class A. I thought that was interesting. I never knew you even went to a C. The new rig is sure to be awesome. Make sure to keep us posted on how it's going. Have you decided on the truck yet? Engine? Trans? Twin screw?

sbphoto, that's some pretty lofty mpg hopes. I don't think you'd even get that bobtailing with a medium size sleeper cab. My t/c has 26' living quarters and I weigh 27k lbs. I cruise at 72-74 mph. I just completed a 4800 mile trip to CA and back (MN) in May and got 9.8 mpg overall. Best fill I got 11.3 mpg. I'm very happy with my mpg's. I think some of those Sprinter chassis type B campers might get about 15 mpg.
