If an RV could get the same gas mileage as a van would you buy one? In the future, you just might have that option.
As gas prices have risen and the green movement has pushed environmental concerns to the forefront of the social conscious a few RV producers have taken note. Their answer: the hybrid RV.
Hybrid RVs differ from their traditional brethren in subtle ways that are at first not immediately apparent to the eye. From the floor plan to the tires, hybrids bear a close resemblance to their traditional counterparts. The differences, however, lie quite literally under the hood.
One of the most blatant and enticing features about the hybrid RV is that it’s able to go farther on a full tank of gas than its traditional counterpart. While it has been rumored that hybrid RVs can increase fuel economy up to 42% compared to a gasoline-engined RV, Winnebago has set a goal of achieving up to 13 miles a gallon. The average fuel consumption of a traditional 32 foot motor home is 8-10 miles per gallon, according to West Canada Tours.
