All the bumping negated anyone answering your question. Gas mileage will be an average of 9 MPG. Plusses are it is an Airstream and was perhaps built better than most. Minuses are it is a fibreglass motor home and will need strict attention to roof seam sealing to prevent delamination damage. The chassis is a Workhorse P-30 which is common enough and fairly dependable. The engine is a 454 Chevy--very strong and dependable but will probably use some oil. Transmission is Allison and impeccable IMHO. I have driven my 2000 for four years over 30,000 miles, and can say it has no more problems than your average MH but qualify that with, "It has its share!" I will probably eventually trade mine for a small Airstream aluminum trailer but for now it serves our purposes. Best wishes, Frank
