Ya think?
Skippers of these "land yachts" feel your pain. An RV like this gets around 6-7 mpg, and holds 55 gallons of gasoline minimum. Tack on running the generator, and you can go through some gas in a hurry.

Guess which is always the cheapest. Oh, I do have a 20 foot pontoon, hasn't moved out of it trailer beside the barn in about ten years.

The last time we used our moterhome was last august. The dashboard air conditioner is not powerful enough to cool the entire vehicle on the road so we have to run the generator so we can use the "house" unit. This also allows us to keep the fridge running while on the road. We tow a chevy tracker behind it, called a "toad" in motorhome jargon. We got 5mpg. If we wanted to sweat like pigs, it gets 8mpg without the generator. Fuel tanks hold 80 gallons.
