We just bought a 31 foot grey wolf travel trailer (7725 gvw) We previously had a small pop up. We were just wondering if the gas mileage we are experiencing is normal. We have a ½ ton 2015 Chevy Silverado pick up. We are getting on average 6 mpg. This seems pretty low to us, and the rpm is running about 2800-3000. Hoping someone can please tell us if this is normal. Any help would be appreciated!
I'm taking a guess here you have the small V8 and 3.55 Rear gears.
Great mileage when your not towing but it revs like a beast any time your going up a decent length hill because overdrive can't maintain speed so it downshifts and your RPM screams much higher than the 3000 mark.
Am I close?
