Looking for info

I am considering (kicking tyres really) a change of motorhome and am looking at a Hymer A class or B class as they call them, and I was wondering if the collective know do you lose much in the way of mpg going from the low profile to A class. Also does anyone have experience of Hymer and are they all they are cracked up to be or is it just hype.

hi John
my A class does 23mpg .... 2.9td merc engine pulling approx 4.5tons.
my son has an old hymer (fiat engine) its well built and well finished inside.

Hi i got a Hymer Merc 2.7 gear box 25 mpg with a light foot around 4 ton in waight.
The lowprofile would be better for mpg the hymer has more room [horses for coarses]

Have an A class on a 2.3 ducato @ 3.850 kilo. Was driving around on 55psi in all wheels = 22mpg. Complained to my dealer ...........said stick a few more psi in the wheels..........and buy branded fuel only ie.........esso, texaco, etc........I did.........70psi all round and bought only branded diesel............= 26/29 to the gallon.

That's my tale.......... spoken to owners of the merc auto and they swear they would not drive anything else. Having driven a merc work wise for twenty years I have to say they are a lovely drive but thirsty if driven hard.
