Gets me about 9.5 by the computer.
9.5 MPG - c'mon
I always find it interesting how these 36 to 40' + rigs get 9 + mpg driving at 65 MPH or higher. I have a new 35' V10, with all the technology built into it and best I have seen is 8 mpg.
The other point here is if fuel economy and savings on gas is an issue, you are in the wrong form of enjoyment with large RV's. JMO.....
I believe it's all about weight to horse power ratio.
your V10 gas is working harder than my 8.3 diesel.
we usually run light, coach empty weight is 27k, we usually load under 1000#, we don't tow heavy the jeep is only 4288# that brings us across the scales at a little over 32k.
Holding tanks, plus fuel will vary
