How do we know if 8.2 MPG is good or bad? Did friends have same MH model with V10, or are they comparing to a minivan? How fast were they driving, 60 or 80 MPH?
Perhaps you can share pertinent data for comparison.

Hey Chance great to hear from you. Hope you and your family are well.
I guess I should have mentioned Doug. He has a 2020 Jayco 34G with the new F53 Chassis and 7.3 V8. Traded a 2018 V-10 Jayco 34G. He’s so ticked off at the mpg I didn’t go there. Guess I should of. His best was 7.6. His 2018 V-10 always got 8.5 to 9.
Then again his worst experience was waiting six months in the shop after 2400 miles waiting on new wires and coils. Looking at Ford’s own Godzilla issues , wether Super Duty or Motor Home , besides poor Mph, the electrical problem with the Chinese Spark Plug wires and coils is a well dock issue. As I mentioned I’m sure Ford will fix any issues in time. Also mpg should jump with the eight speed. Although owners of Super Duties on the forums say mpg is still poor. Time is the test, reliability is what we all seek.
Happy thanksgiving
