Very nice. In Oklahoma gas was 2.11 and diesel was 2.18 a couple of weeks ago. I would drive the wheels off that.
There are only so many sunrises left.

We have a 2017 Winnebago view class C that has worked out very well for us. We’ve had it for about five years and have done numerous small trips locally, loops around the southwest, and even a cross country trip to South Carolina and back. We have had no mechanical problems with the rig and just the usual little glitches with the house that you get with any RV. The best part about it is getting over 15 MPG when we’re not towing a toad and about 13 to 13.5 towing. We tow a Chevy tracker that weighs about 3200 pounds and hardly know it’s there but in the real world they seem to like 4000 pounds or less even though rated at 5000. Many of the owners in the Mercedes View association tow jeeps and say they have no problem. The Mercedes dealerships are crazy expensive but there’s no reason that a common mechanic like me can’t do the usual oil changes etc.. The 6 cylinder turbo diesel requires 20 quarts of oil but a counter point only require oil changes every 20,000 miles or two years. There are some independent sprinter shops that do excellent work at reasonable prices Shoot me a PM if you’d like more detailed info

My parents purchased an 03 mini whiney. They owned it for 10 years and loved it. From Mt Vernon to AZ they got 18mpg and 14mpg towing their PT Cruizer. My mom has allergies food and animals so they used it a lot more than just trips south. They often took to friends realities homes that lived just far enough away that didn't inconvenience anyone. If your a short trip, always on the move traveler I think they are great. If your going sout for 3 months probably not big enough. My parents was pre emission controlled. Also it had some weird quirks like not being able to check certain fluids. DYI main ancestors didn't seem  very accessible. Perhaps  a forum specific site on them would help.

Additionally I'd rove about like my 1 ton crew cab dually as far as how much space it took up.
