Driving with the generator on
Just curious if anyone knows the difference in MPG when riding with and without the generator on. Has anyone done any measurements on the gas mileage they get? Thanks

Our Itasca is fine up front with the roof air running. Our Coachmen was fine when it had a 13,500 Btu Dometic followed by a 13,500 Btu Carrier, but it's not fine with its' current 15,000 Btu Advent AC. It must be due to the positioning of the forward vent on the Advent. The Itasca has ducted AC, while the Coachmen doesn't. My previous Class C was also fine with its' nonducted roof AC.
I think a big part of our problem is even with the cab vent/air shut off outside air still comes in from somewhere down by your feet.
One year we went to Disney and our heater core blew as we pulled in. The mobile tech ran a bypass so we could get home, but we had no cab heat. It was unbearably cold in the cab as there was a freezing flow of air on your legs. We tried putting a blanket on our legs but eventually we stopped and bought a little space heater to put by our legs and ran it off the generator.
