Thanks. I will have all that in mind. But, my wife and I are both retired and empty-nesters, so we will be RVing more than just during "a vacation". And my RAM gives me almost the same mileage on the road when I am towing or not towing my boat. But of course the boat is not as heavy. So I am going to experiment and we will see. ;)
