For us Rvers the rv's have become quite large. This is partly due to our expectation of having all of the comforts of home wherever we travel. That's why we call it Rving not camping. I'll admit I like that. However, could we have all those comforts in a smaller and more efficient package?
In the case of one couple that showed up at the Wild Cherry Resort smaller is better.
They arrived in a 30 foot Trek motorhome, which is several feet shorter than the typical class A motorhome, and they were towing a trailer which carried their Smart Car and a scooter.
We and our neighbors went to take a look at the Smart car and were given a tour by the owners. George says that he typically gets 42 to 45 miles per gallon and can just about get 50 mpg if he drives carefully. He also said that he can get 90 mph out of it if he wants. I was impressed with the interior room of the car for the driver and passenger. There's also room behind the seats for groceries. So for an around town runabout and grocery getter, this may indeed be one of the cars for people without kids.
