Don't fill your tank in San Diego {or anywhere else in California for that matter}. Put enough in to get you to Yuma and top it up there. Gas will be about 80 cents a gallon cheaper in Arizona. A 26' C will likely be a Ford Chassis with the venerable V-10 and a 55-gallon tank. Expect 9 mpg driving around 60 and remember the generator won't work if the tank is below one quarter.
Just drove from San Diego to Tucson yesterday and the roads are all good.
:C
9 mpg, based on my experience, is probably rather on the high side to expect. I'd expect about 7.5 to 8 mpg (probably closer to 8 here), and let anything better be a nice surprise.
