We get 5.5 to 7 average depending on how many hills on our 33 ft Fleetwood Flair (2004) with Vortec 8.1 gasser pulling a Jeep Liberty. Does a real good job.
We once owned (in 2003) a 35 ft Itasca Suncruiser (1993)with a 5.9 diesel pusher which I really liked and we got between 8.5 and 9 all of the time as I recall. It cost me so much to fill it that I would fill at half tank LOL (lot lower price per gal then. We were pulling a 1993 Ford Explorer. (Both the Explorer and the Liberty weigh about 4500 lbs.)
In between the two, we had a 2003 Dodge 4x4 2500 which got 20 mpg empty and 9.5 to 12 pulling a 39 ft Cedar Creek 5er. The 5ers we had were junky compared to the motorhomes, but that's another story.
