How frugal are million-dollar motorhomes or almost $200,000 Class Bs?:)

I agree that hybrid technology won't be integrated into motorhomes in mass production for a long time because of cost (both...

I've seen guys report that their V10 idles with as little as .8 GPH, so it's not that much more than a larger generator may burn. In large part this happens because the V10 idles much slower than...

This is not the article I read originally which was for a gasoline-powered auto, but it shows great advances have been made. It mentions cleaner tailpipe than ambient air (this one on natural gas)....

I've never avoided a campground to save the cost, or stayed at a Cracker Barrel, Waltmart, etc... not that there is anything wrong with that as far as I'm concerned. On the other hand there are...
