around 7 is what I get with a Cummins 8.3. You don't buy them for fuel efficiency!

Not bad, considering I only got 7 to 8 MPGs in my gas mohos.

That 5th wheel is tiny compared to this 57ft.

Check out the Escapee's forum board under the HDT sub threads and you will learn a lot of info on lot's of us that use class 8 tractors to tow a heavy 5th wheel. I pull with a Kenworth

When we were in Ouray last year there was a similar setup as Groover mentioned. Full size big truck with sleeper, had a smart car right behind the cab then the massive fifth wheel toy hauler that had a nice SXS in it.

The trailer is Fusion toyhauler about 2009 vintage. The red slide walls were a “bold new graphics” kind of thing for a couple years back then. We had a 2010 and it had black walls.
Agreed that Westside CG is awesome. The hills block the wind that Doran Beach gets.

I like big trucks, but not a single cab.

I think my next truck might be a single cab. Less is more as I get older.

I’ve heard for years if you already have a BIG truck, of course a fifth wheel is the way to go.

Would be funny to see a little tear drop trailer behind it.

Ideal for strolling on US 1 from Bodega Bay ;)

Highway 1 north of Bodega Bay is limited to a single lane. Wanted to see it but there was quite a wait.
