With fuel mileage there are things that you can do to the truck to improve mileage, like a free flowing exhaust, ECM tuners, air intake mods, but their return on investment will take miles to recover.
The most effective improvement on your mileage is learning to tow efficiently, that is the way you drive.
Avoid long idles, hard acceleration, and learn where your sweet spot in the torque band for your truck transmission and camper are, and slow down. Whatever the posted speed limit is I rarely go over 65 mph. Speed is the most determining factor of fuel economy.
