WOW, how fast were you running? Was there a very strong headwind?
My unit is pushing 20K and I still average 10 to 11 overall running at 65.
Something is wrong, or info missing, a diesel should do way better than 7 mpg.

nope 7 MPG over 1500 miles last trip little up hill and high altitude for the first 500 miles it was 10.5 MPG but by the end of the trip it slowly fell to 7 . This truck runs great and i have had it since 2015 and put 100k on it , a lot of those miles are towing mile too. Its always been worse on fuel mileage than my last truck which was a 6.0

Michelle.S what is your truck ? and what rear gear set up do you have ? how tall is your RV , mine no kidding is right at 13.6 , it scares the heck out of me out east here with all the low overheads they have. My RV is taller tan a lot of tractor trailers I see. So tall in fact they didnt even put roof mounted AC,s on this Rv its in the basement because its too tall
