First "long" trip with TT.
What kind of mileage do you get towing? I have to brag a bit, the best I did on a 800 (towing) mile round trip was 17.5 MPG, the worse was 12.7 MPG. I tried to keep under 70 miles an hour while towin...

OP stated "We went from Evanston Wy to Mesquite Nv". That is going from a mile and a half high to a quarter mile high. You could have just put transfer case in neutral, let her roll, and had trip average 20+ mpg.
Anyway, Ford truck, Cummins engine, great job, must have been a fun project!

You missed the 'and back' part, they had to gain all that altitude back.
Couldn't quite let it roll, but it was defiantly easier going than returning home. There are a couple passes where you climb back to 6500' around Cedar City Utah so it got a work out both ways. I think if I had skipped the last 100 miles in my calculations I'd have been pushing 17 MPG average.
