Give me an example...
Of a Truck/Camper(that with kitchen/bath) combo with high MPGs. Now, I'm assuming it's going to be diesel, but I'm also curious what one can get on the half-ton campers.

- I have a 7 foot popup on a half ton. Most trips are right around 13 mpg --- not exactly high mileage.
- I think would I slow down to 60 mph my 13,000 lb combo will get 14 mpg.

It ain't going to be wet bath neither.
Although... Ford is testing F150 diesels.- I had a Travel-lite Mountain Star 800 on a Silverado 1500, v8 and got 11 to 12 mpg.
Camp ready weight was 1550# - Needs to be a light popup like a Four Wheel Camper. Pick a truck that has high mileage.

Yes, but they don't have much payload... ;)
Mitch- From your question I'm not sure if you are just asking for just 1/2 ton trucks/campers or all combos.
Mine is a 3/4 ton 2wd dodge diesel with a Lance camper with a dry bath and a nice size kitchen. We get 15mpg driving 65mph on the interstate. I won't go any faster than that.
Hope this helps - Currently my '05 Chevy diesel dually and my 11' camper get about 11 MPG. Years ago when I had a 1500 Dodge and a small 8' pop up truck camper I got about 13 MPG.
