How much fuel does an RV consume (mpg)?
RV fuel consumption is affected by vehicle weight, engine size, fuel type, driving habits, gear ratios, wind resistance, topography, and numerous other factors. Without knowing a lot of details about an RV, it is impossible to estimate a narrow mpg (miles per gallon) range. Here are some generalities: • When towing very small trailers, fuel consumption of the tow vehicle will increase slightly or may be negligible. • Class B motor homes should have slightly higher fuel consumption than the van they are built on. • Smaller Class C motor homes and trailers will consume about 10-15 mpg. • Large motor homes and trailers will range between 6-13 mpg. The most accurate way to determine fuel consumption is to join a discussion group and ask others who own similar units to the one you are considering.
