Realilistic mileage with a fifthwheel.
Just curious what kind of fuel mileage I can expect with a fifth-wheel. 1ton 4x4 duramax srw 36 Ft. 13Klbs fifth-wheel. I realize weather, road conditions whether it is flat or hills or mountains ...

Yep. 8-10 no matter what you are towing.
You must do all your towing at 70+, my 01 Ram gets 10 to 12 towing close to 12k. I would not expect much of a change going to a newer Ram.
I used to get similar mileage as you with my 98 RAM towing a similar 5er. Then went to a 11 HO Dually and wide body RV with 28K combined weight and HAND calc averaged 9.5, now with 15 RAM Dually and wide body 13' 5" high RV and combined 33K I get about 9 hand calc. All of this West Coast Towing.
Height, weight and width ALL play into REAL world mileage.
