Gas mileage

Pulled boats for many years, now have a Rockwood Minilite 2014s. Pulled by Ford F150 Lariat. Gas mileage went from 16 mpg to 8mpg. Just want to see if this is about the average drop in mpg. Don't see this drop in pulling the boat.

  • Problem of gas mileage of boat vs RV is that the height of a trailer acts like a sail or "wind break."
    Boat has a much lower profile.
  • Maybe the boat is smaller or more aerodynamic?
