Derek up North Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I wonder how many 'real world' MPG they get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I wonder how many 'real world' MPG they get? I bet not very good. One can infer. My 1993 B250 van with the same 3.9 engine got a best of 17.5 MPG at 60 MPH and that is just a van. Also there is this report from a Dakota with the 3.9 and a small slide-on camper on the back. 2002 Dakota 3.9V6 and carry a Sunlite (Apache) 6.9 on the back. I had to install a set of SuperSprings to level off the back. Acceleration to 50 mph is about the same. Gas mileage went from about 19 to 12mpg. If I drive at 55-60 mph, the mileage taint too bad, but get a heavy foot and you swear the needle moves as you drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrbus Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 I did not consider mileage, I wondered where that tag axle was from, likely off some odd thing like a Yugo, that takes Brazilian brake pads and African bearings.

Jim Serro Scotty is an American trailer manufacturer that was in business for a very long time. They didn't make motorhomes for long but they made good ones. One of the few companies that made a stock 4x4 motorhome too. Some history and I don't think your going to find any foreign references http://www.scottytrailers.com/scottyhistory.php Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 I did not consider mileage I've seen reports posted where the Scottys on full size trucks get better mileage then on the smaller Dakota platform with the 3.9 V6. I know the ones with 5.9 Cummins diesels can get 15-16 MPG at 60 MPH. This one here is for a full-size with a 318 V8 gas engine. 1994 Dodge Scotty Serro Motorhome Class C (Gas mileage compared to Toyota) based on Dodge D100 with 318 V8. 21 foot. 16 mpg going 50mph, 13 mpg going 60mph, 12 mpg going 70mph, In town I get 10 mpg.
