Greeting all,
I am in the throws of buying a new motorhome after an absence of 20 years. I am mindful of the running costs and would welcome any comments on mpg one can expect from 2.0ltr Petrol , 1.9TD, or 2.5 TD engine in an Autosleeper Harmony, Duetto, Trident or Symphony. These are the models I am considering choosing between. I aim to use the motorhome for short and extended breaks and as a 'second car' when needed. Any comments from your experience on running costs or indeed anything i should look out for whilst buying would be really greatly appreciated. If you a selling one, i would also like to hear from you.

Manythanks in advance and I look forward to being able to contribute to the motorhome community in the future.

Cheers John M

Hello,

Look at the Autosleepers Owners Club site ( can't remember it but try a Google search ). There is a table available to print off showing fuel consumptions for various models.

Regards, sax

Hi haddy

Welcome to MHF

Good Day John M

Our last campingcar a "Duetto" did 28.8 mpg(2½L TD) average during 6½ years and 64000- odd miles. Every litre logged from new. About 62000 of the miles were on trips including lots of mountain driving all round Europe.

Millers additive was used about 3months before each MOT. Emissions were always "below average". Mineral oil ( not synthetic) and new filter every 6 to 7 thousand miles rather than fFords rec. of every 10000

Our current DEvon Monte Carlo on Renault Master has done 17800 at 29.8 mpg. See my report(s) go to Google & enter Ken Shawcross and click on report re Devon.

The Duetto was good. The Devon is better. NB the current Duetto is smaller than our 1997 one.
