Realilistic mileage with a fifthwheel.
Just curious what kind of fuel mileage I can expect with a fifth-wheel. 1ton 4x4 duramax srw 36 Ft. 13Klbs fifth-wheel. I realize weather, road conditions whether it is flat or hills or mountains ...

With a D/A 2500 and 34' fifth-wheel: 9 - 12 is pretty well the range limits of MPG. The factor most important seems to be the wind. Head wind or side wind can hold down to 9 (or lower in really strong wind); favorable wind can bring the MPG up to 12.
It would be highly unusual for our MPG to fall outside those parameters over any extended distance.
The ONLY way to know is to keep an exact log from odometer and from the actual gallons from the pump--certainly not from the onboard computer readout.
