Fifth Wheel/Diesel mpg
My husband and I are looking into a fifth wheel for our retirement camper. We hope to have our minds made up by January 2018. He wants to get a 2500 series diesel truck. Fifth wheel would be in the 85...

Given a choice, and not knowing what 5th wheel you're getting, a one ton truck would be your best choice. Fuel usage will drop below 12mpg when you're towing. A 9000lb will be fairly small so be prepared to live in such small quarters.
I think we'll be fine in the 9000 lb. Tent camped for 30 yrs; owned a pop up a short while and now a 15' tiny hardside for the past 5 years. We will feel really large when we move to a 5th wheel in the 8,000 lb range. lol We tend to go small; home is only 1100 sq ft and we have more room than we need. Appreciate your comments and everyone has give such great advice!
