Gas milage for a diesel / gas engine

Here's my request, I need people that own fifth wheel trailers to let me know about their gas mileage. I presently have a toyota tundra when I'm not towing anything I get about 20 miles to the gallon but when I'm towing my TT the gas mileage drops to 9 miles to the gallon. NOW WE ALL KNOW that truck sales men will tell you that their truck gets a million miles to the gallon which we know isn't true. So if you have a fifth wheel trailer please tell me which truck you tow with and is it gas or diesel and what your gas mileage is. This will help my wife and I to pick the correct truck and fifth wheel to buy.
  • Rig in signature is better than yours solo and towing with a gcw of 19+k.
  • 2oldman, which truck do you use and is it gas or diesel?
  • Krease, which truck do you have and is it gas or diesel?
  • If you are going to pull get a diesel. I am running a 28,000 pound motorhome at highway speeds and getting better milage than you are pulling your TT.

    2200 miles this trip, April 23-27 computer is saying 10.02 MPH
