Yep, here too, I had a big head wind going west to Alaska with the camper and sometimes the transmission would not even go overdrive, so MPG was in the 10 to 11. Comming back was a happy camper, 16 to 17 MPG with tail wind. So MPG is a matter of taking the numbers for long drive, I would say average a long drive going out and comming back the same route in the same condition. Or going on a long drive without wind.
When I was going to California from the North East, I also had a head wind and as I was going west, my GPS was showing significant increase in altitude. I did not notice it because the highway is flat, but I could feel the old 7.3 was working harder and smoking black. Again on the way back, it was a different story, back wind, going down.
There is big Delta with MPG versus tail and head wind with a camper. Pulling the aluminum enclosed trailer, without the camper gets me roughly the same MPG has with the camper on, with or without trailer.
We also have winter fuel which gets worst MPG, so when I will go south this winter, the winter fuel will get me worst MPG than when I will be down in Texas.
