5th wheel mpg's
I'm looking at converting a 5th wheel horse trailer to meet my needs. For diesels, cummins particularly, I am interested to hear mpg numbers from anyone towing these. I am curious the difference bet...

So, do you HAVE to have a pickup? It's a lousy tow vehicle just as it's a lousy vehicle to drive. Unstable, too heavy, etc.
An SUV or car mated to a nice used Airstream will beat all the capacities questions, and also beat any pickup truck combo on every score of road performance. Significant risk reduction.
A car more stable towing than a truck?? A car or gas-engine Suburban beating a turbodiesel on every score of road performance? Risk reduction??
What have you been smoking?!
Few are acknowledging this guy's question, just because you don't get what he's doing. I can tell you, RV's are built like flimsy fragile JUNK, and a horse trailer is built STOUT in comparison.
If you want a trailer that can take punishment and last, this isn't a bad idea. And you can see around a horse trailer lots better, too.
I haul horses, and one thing I can say is it's just gonna need a whole new floor if it's ever gonna smell right, lol. Unfortunately my MPG figures aren't applicable because I carry them 14 at a time in a Peterbilt 379.
