Particularly when we only drive between 5,000 and 10,000 miles per year at most.
Fuel efficiency is not the main reason I want a smaller motorhome, although obviously I'll take as much as I can get, everything else being equal.
In my opinion to have any chance at 14 MPG on gasoline the motorhome would have to be downsized a little more than an Axis/Vegas. A European size Class A like I'm looking for may get to 14 if speed is kept down.

Have you checked into the folks that do the custom Sprinter conversions such as these folks?
Sportsmobile Custom Camper Vans - Sprinter Cost Examples
Those may be more along the lines of the European motorhomes.
