Here's mine: It won't get 30 mpg (or even 20) and it will never do 100 mph, or handle like a sports car. But it will get into any sort of Forest Service or National Park campsite. And the OM 642 will go all day and make it up or down any sort of grade without breaking a sweat. And the interior is roomy enough to be pretty civilized. AND I bet it's bigger than any of yours!

I think the Vixen is the ultimate sport RV chassis, but it turned out to be a mistake to chase MPG by installing a BMW 524TD engine in it, apparently that motor can't take running all day at heavy throttle. I wonder how an OM606 would hold up in a motorhome, or how easy it would be to wire up a five cylinder Sprinter mill to play nice in a foreign chassis.
