I get about 20-22 mpg usually in my toyota, and it has a made up bed on top

4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

If that reviewer says "luxurious" one more time.....

His review was soooo oozing with "luxury" and "luxurious" that I wanted to pewk.

That video was a sales pitch. There was very little objectivity in it.

At the current exchange rate, ($1=1.61265 pounds) that thing would cost $129,012, PLUS shipping, handling, and dealer prep.

Bit of a math error there I think. At that exchange rate, 49,000 GPB is about $79,000.

Perhaps your number includes shipping, handling, dealer prep and the ticket for the ship over here.

If you wanted to import a DOT/EPA modified version, would it be subject to the chicken tax, which so far has done a pretty good job of keeping out the vans these are built on?

I don't think a complete RV would be subject to chicken tax as it's a passenger vehicle.

Trucks were subject to it and there have been a number of ways manufacturers have got by that. The Sprinter is shipped as a kit, the Transit Connect is shipped with a back seat which is scrapped, and Japanese trucks used to be shipped incomplete.
