In Europe it's a completely different story:
a) the majority of RVs are designed to be driven with a standard car license, so fully loaded must weigh less than 3500kg
b) The vans that are used as base of RVs all run on diesel, and have a fuel consumption of around 8l/100km or 30mpg. Add around 20% for a Class B RV.

- voisin 3y agoAren’t all van based RVs considered Class B? I thought that was the definition. And wouldn’t they be lighter and get better fuel economy versus the Class C’s that are based on a van chassis?
- yencabulator 3y agoThere are class C's built on van chassis. The definition is that class C is constructed on a cutaway chassis, constructing new "RV walls" at the RV factory, and class B uses the original "vehicle walls". A class B will get generally better fuel economy than a class C, because it's more aerodynamic, narrower and not as tall. Of course, a class B will have less interior room. https://rv.org/pages/class-c https://rv.org/pages/class-c https://rv.org/pages/class-b https://rv.org/pages/class-b
