4800lbs trailer verse 3800lbs trailer

The majority of us consider it a good day if we average 10 mpg. On a recent trip from TN to CO, once we left OKC our mileage dropped to just barely 8 mpg due to the lloooooonnnnngggg uphill pull. It was barely noticeable to us, but the truck sure knew it. UGH! Heading back home, we were much happier with the 12+mpg, so we did, in fact, average 10 mpg. Any time I do the budget for a trip - and we never leave home without my trusty budget page because that's just me, I figure 10 mpg and $4.00 per gallon. We've never topped the $4.00, but I just plan that way and then we find a little bit of change in the bottom of the bucket when we get home.

If you WANT the Mercedes B+, that's one thing, but it's not gonna be a cost saver for you. But they are nice!
