How far can you tow prior to fill up?

Thinking about getting rid of the Class A and getting a different RV for traveling cross country in. So bear with me since I'm really new to TT's.

As a newbie to TT's I'm attempting to wrap my head around how far you guys can pull prior to a fillup. If all you're getting is 10mpg and a standard pull vehicle has lets say a 14 gallon tank then you must be pulling over all the time to fill up. What am I missing?
  • Depending on the tow vehicle, obviously. Don't most have a 25-30 gallon tank?
  • 14 gal tank? What kind of truck do you have? I have a 1/2 ton pulling 5500 or so pounds, at 8 mpg I have a 25 gal tank so I go a maximum of 150 miles to be on the conservative side.
