I test drove a 1990 Toyota Winnebago Warrior with a V6 today and left a deposit on it. I currently have a '78 Toyota Dolphin, (17ft) that I absolutely love... but its lack of power on the freeway or long inclines scares the ^#*@ out of me! I'm not sure the size or weight of the Warrior yet, I'm guessing it's probably about 22ft. Does the V6 engine offset the additional weight of the bigger camper? or will I be in the same boat essentially when it comes to no power on long inclines? I live at high altitude in a hilly/mountainous area. When I drove it today I could get it up to about 60 max on a long incline where the speed limit was 65. Is that about the max I could expect? What kind of mileage can I expect? (I average about 14-17 in the Dolphin). What else can anyone tell me about the differences I might expect between the two?

Does anyone have any figures or experience with the effect of additional weight on fuel mileage? I'm trying to figure out if a recent loss of a couple of mpg could be due to weight added (water, food, equipment, etc) or whether I need to hunt down a possible engine issue. Not burning oil, no suspicious sounds, but earlier in our four month trip we were getting 18-19 mpg, now we're getting 16-17. We have added "stuff" along the way, maybe 2-300 lbs worth.
