- wirenutzExplorerwe have a toy hauler fifth wheel that weighs in at 14,400 dry weight, our loaded weight is 17,000 as you can see by my signature I am pulling it with a Freightliner FL-60 with a 7.2 CAT motor I get 13MPG unloaded and 9MPG loaded, it works out to be about 50 cents a mile at today's fuel prices

We love ours. There are times when it can be difficult to get it into some camping sights. We plan ahead and have no real difficulty. We have not even come close to filling the storage this trailer has. Weight wise, only in campgrounds with steep hills have we found it necessary to use our 4 wheel drive in low to have the power to get up and down some hills. It works great. You have to have the right truck to haul the weight.
How heavy is yours dry? And how much do you travel? - btd35ExplorerWe love ours. There are times when it can be difficult to get it into some camping sights.
