Mercedes are quite expensive to maintain and far fewer dealers for warranty issues. I would also doubt the extra length would be too much of an issue as far as mpg.

Thanks mountainsam, you have strengthened my resolve to purchase the 23TB. I forgot to consider maintenance for the Mercedes. And I see you have 3 folks and dogs in your rig, so the 23TB should be a cinch for my solo trips and possibly a friend (or grandchild or two). Will be selling my 20 ft toyhauler and truck later this year to allow for the purchase of the 23TB. Looking forward to it.
