Tow Haul Mode
I have a F350 4x4 long box diesel. I always used tow haul when I towed our fifth wheel. We have now downsized to a tow behind TT. The friends we camp with have TT and they never use tow haul beca...
So many factors come into play with MPG which is why most RVers never even bother. Terrain, weight, wind, traffic, speed, etc. Some fella at a gas station once asked me what kind of mileage I got on my class A. I said; it gets great mileage for an apartment.
I wouldn't say RVers never bother, I know very few that don't track their milage. for me I realize it is going to varry but not by much it is in a general range and if it goes out of that range for no aparent reason I know to start looking for somthing wrong like a wheel berring or what not. plus I am always looking for ways to improve milage.
Good point. I don't track mileage in my RV or any car for that matter or chase price at the pump. I am going to need fuel either way and I know my vehicles well and have enough warnings bells and alerts on them to tell me if there's an issue. Your mileage may vary - pardon the pun.
My overarching point was, I doubt Tow haul mode affects mileage much, but rather the other 100 other variables that can impact RV MPG. The only way to really know is to replicate the identical conditions and perform the test over and over. Hardly worth the effort.
