Thor Palazzo 32' with 6.7 Cummins and no trailer returns about 11.5 at 65-70mph, 12mpg if I stay in the lower 60's.
Pulling a Ford Taurus on a dolly round trip from TN to the Grand Canyon it showed 11.1mph for the 4500 mile trip. I let the kids drive some as I got very sick and they drove about 75mph.
Pulling a three horse trailer with tack room I seemed to consistently get about 9.9mpg.
Wind speed and direction can alter the numbers 10-15% so I don't generally worry too much about "best ever" mpg, I just want to know how to plan a road trip. Also, if you run the roof air, the household fridge and the microwave oven while traveling do you count the generator fuel which comes out of the same tank?
All in all, the 32ft diesel returns much better fuel economy than the 1991 F250 gas with slide in camper so I am very pleased with it.
