I think you need to get over your apprehension to allow your engine to rev above 3000 RPMs. These OHC engines are built to rev. Staying under 3K did not allow you to reach the engine's peak torque and HP and perhaps lugging, which is counterproductive to peak engine performance.
And you are correct, that weight of a 5th wheel does not justify (financially) a diesel. As usual, this will ultimately turn into a diesel/gas debate started by a few select diesel owners.

Edit: Great report by the way. Love the 6.2!
X2, I could not agree more! If there is a second trip to Kissimee set your cruise control on 62*, more on that, and let your computer, which controls both theengine and transmission do its thing! Will you double your millage? NO, but I would bet you a dinner at Golden Coral that you would get better millage. *I used 62 as an example, that may or may not be your ideal speed towing your rig. You may have to experiment a bit to find the "sweet" spot for your set up. Between the sweet spot and leting your computer control the rpm's you should see an improvement. Good Luck and enjoy!
