Well I went to pick up my RV today. I wanted to calculate the extra cost in towing it.
The trip to the dealership was 220 km/136 miles.
as I left my home town I fuelled up. Just before I got to the dealership I fuelled up again. I used 27 Litres/7 Gal.
I drove back home and fuelled up again. I used 74 litres/19.5gal.
I was not expecting that.
It is normal to consume almost 3 times the fuel when towing vs just driving.
I drive a 2012 F150 3.7. My TT is 4500 lbs/ 2000 kgs. And 26 feet long.
I might consider getting a rv wind deflector.
Any thoughts guys.
