This fella gives a comparison with a gas and a diesel 1 T pickup truck
and a slide out camper in the back. He provides mileage comparisons
and ride impressions. In another video he laments how he would not buy
another slide out body.
Lets see; $48-65K for the truck, $35-45 for the camper (guess) and less
room and comfort. Jeez I made the right decision 12 years ago.

You should see about a 30% gain in fuel efficiency with diesel all else being equal. The truck in the video is heavier and a lot less aerodynamic than our GMC's so making any comparisons to our rigs is really an apple to oranges analogy. Interesting show though.
