Looking for someone who has a 2010 32' WindSport

[logsfam]

Can anyone tell me what kind of gas mileage to expect from a 32' 2010 WindSport with a V-10 6.8L engine and auto transmission with overdrive?

Thanks for your help.

I got a 2011 winsport v-10. I am getting around 8 mpg in mountains getting 5 mpg

I know what you are talking about. You will have to boondock a few times to make up the difference between 7--8 miles per gallon.

The difference in cost between getting 8 MPG or 7 MPG is very small. If you travel 8000 miles you will use 1000 gallon at 8 MPG and 1143 at 7 MPG. Even at $3/gallon that's only $429 difference over the course of 8000 miles or 5.4 cents per mile.

you will never average 8 unless you only drive when its flat calm,never see a hill and never drive over 55

Heck, if money is tight, don't buy a motorhome.

Averaging 8 MPG is going to be difficult to maintain. Not impossible but difficult. You need to keep the coach weight down as low as possible, don't tow a car and keep your speed down. I'm four years older and a foot shorter with a Hurricane and I'm averaging in the mid sevens.

Can't say I've never bumped up against the top gear rev limiter, traveled as light as I could and never tower a 3600 pound car behind the coach.

With a 75 gal tank on our 05 v-10, I can expect at least 600 miles on a fillup. Go about that far, wait for the next SS check, then go a bit further.

I get 6 towing at 65-70
You could probably squeeze 7 not towing and 55-60
average 8 sounds like a stretch but I'm guessing on that one since that's not how I roll.....

You might realistically average 7 mpg if you keep your speed around 55-60. Run 70-75 and you will average about 5.5-6 range based on my experience.

never exceed 55mph

8 mpg with the wind behind you.
