Well, I think the benefit of the motorhome over the truck camper combo is that the trip there in the motorhome is better. If one is going to be at one spot for a longer time then I really believe that a truck trailer is better. But, if one is going to be some where for only a day or two then a motorhome is pretty much ready to go in a moments notice. Also the frige is full (hopefully) and the bed is there for passengers to rest while the on the road. It beats the heck out of trying to sleep in an auto. To get better mileage then you almost have to have a smaller diesel motorhome. The 30+ foot jobs by in large are not going to get over 10mpg. The smaller ones can. You basicly have a house going down the highway. The bigger the house, the heavier and hence less mpg.

So really if I was going to go long distances I would be better off pulling a trailer behind the duramax which would get 15 at least. I asked a neighbor of mine why he was taking his family on vacation using his ruck and a pop-up tent railer, as opposed to using a class c motor home he picked up for cheap. He xplained that when you get to he place where you are going to camp, it is truly a pain to pack up the motor ome and go to the corner store o buy groceries, propane, or whatever. With a trailer, you set up the trailer, hen if you need something, you jump in the truck, r SUV and go. Way less hassle.
