The Icon and fuel efficient RVs
The most fuel efficient RV?Check out this Fleetwood Icon RV. Who needs to fly, or stay in a hotel anymore? At 15 - 18 mpg, the ICON outperforms some large SUVs in terms of fuel economy.
Interestingly, this ICON uses a Mercedes 6-cylinder diesel engine and a Dodge Sprinter powertrain. So, why not a diesel hybrid? Also, there are versions of Dodge Sprinter vans that include plug-in hybrid technology. Take the Icon, add some solar panels to the roof and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, and all your camping energy is free, with any extra electricity used as fuel. Now that's an idea I'd like to buy.
Anybody aware of a more fuel efficient RV?

Yes, my old Toyota Dolphin. That got around 20 or 21 to the gallon (except up the mountains). I wish they'd start making them again. The old ones are at a premium.
