Same reason why would anyoen buy a decent sized boat. They enjoy the
device. Lots of these RV'ers that full time, do not drive that many
miles a year. Maybe 5000. And at about 7-8 mpg, the extra cost for
fuel is not a big item in the overall cost. And people who use the RV
for weekend trips drive even less a year.



Yeah, driving is so much fun, and driving a barge is even more fun.

Oatmeal, the old fashioned kind, with a banana.

The one I'm looking at gets about 22mpg, but burns diesel.

You should say *and* burns diesel. That's a plus, IMO.

22 mpg is a *little* optimistic, although some have reported getting it.
19-20 mpg at 65-70 mph highway driving is realistic, a little less if you
tow a loaded trailer.

I'll tell you, if you do purchase it, you are going to love that little
Mercedes diesel. It's amazing.

Oatmeal is much easier when you are losing your teeth, it guess it just
slides down without any chewing.

It's healthy. I don't eat "fatty" foods very often. My cholesterol
numbers are right where I want them to be, and without medications.

No disagreement that it's good for you. I tried over and over last winter
with the various types but just couldn't handle it. I do a cup of dry
puffed wheat and some yogurt (which took some time, but I now enjoy).
