I just bought a Forest River Cardinal 362-BH LE 5th wheel trailer that I towed back from Iowa about 270 miles. My TV is a 2008 Chevy 2500HD Crew Cab Chevy Silverado. The trailer weighs 11990 lbs (dry). On the trip to our seasonal site last Saturday, I averaged 10.0mpg.

I was pleased with this performance and never having pulled a 5th wheeler before, I was also pleased with how well this truck pulled the additional weight.
