We now prefer shorter trips, usually within four or five hours from home, and for shorter periods of time, usually for 5 to 10 days at a time. Also wanted something that was just easier to deal with, and could be used in a more spontaneous manner. We also used to take grandkids with us, often, and now that they are grown, its just my wife, small dog and myself, so we really did not see the need for a huge bus. The fact that the bus got 6.5 MPG and the Gemini gets between 17 and 18 MPG is certainly a nice feature, but in our case not a major factor in our decision.

We've been thinking of possibly trading our 5er for a small class A,, haven't looked much yet, but curious what chassis is under your Gemini.
I've driven Ford's at work for 30+ years & at 17-18 mpg no way could it be the Ford V10, the pickups I drove couldn't/wouldn't get near that going down hill with the engine off, If you dropped the "1" off the front it would be closer to the mileage. Therefore have been hesitant as most come with the Ford chassis.
