It will be interesting to see if fuel efficiency for this 23,500-pound GVWR DP is significantly better than other/larger DPs, and also if much better than an Axis/Vegas-size gasoline motorhome. Cummins previously predicted 20 to 40 percent better fuel economy out of this 275 HP 5.0L diesel V8 compared to a Ford gasoline V10, but I'm sure that was based on similar size and weight.

I got 7 to 8 mpg with DP - I am getting 8 to 10 mpg with V10.
My wife hated the size while traveling and liked it when it was parked. Only thing we gave up was washer/dryer. Plus she is driving it to releave me on trips ...she would never do that in the DP. Yes it was about size and costs. But my wife and I thought that the Axis/Vegas was just the right size (tanks and living space for us) MB based B's and C's. The ones with room we wanted had no capacity for GVWR.
