I agree, all three will be about the same. I have an Airstream and used to pull a 21 ft hybrid. I now tow a 26 ft that is 2000 pounds heavier. I get the same mileage now as I did before with the white brick.
The comments about "putting the air back together" are right on. I have towed this thing over 25K miles and averaged just over 12mpg. A couple of years ago I put a bike rack on the back of the trailer and now am getting just over 11mpg. I lost a mile per gallon because of the disruption to the air flow at the back.
I also agree with the poster who said this shouldn't be a big issue for anyone unless that is all they do is tow their trailer down the road. There are lots of other things to consider, like floor plans and such.
