MPG

[Racine96]

For those of you who have a DP, what kind of mpg are you getting>

[JackInAZ]

Invariably someone always asks me "what sort of mileage does that thing get?" and I always respond "not very good for a car but excellent for a house!"

[mike_brez]

We get almost 10 mpg on the flat with cruise set at 63mph. 330 hp Detroit series 40.

[Joatha]

7-7.5MPG for me.

I'm running a Cummins ISM (500HP) and my coach weighs around 45K pounds (plus or minus).

[KampingKris]

Kinda of hard to determine since gennie and aqua hot also draw from the tank. But we think around 8.

[pkunk]

Just have to chime in....8.2 on a V-10 gas at a dollar a gal. less than diesel

[koda55]

2008 Thor, Mandalay at 35,998lbs towing a 2008 HHR 3150 lbs. We average 7.3 at 63 mph

[sdianel_-acct_c]

8.5 mpg average '04 Country Coach.

[Snomas]

7.5 average @65MPH. Mostly run in the west thru AZ, NM, & CO. MH & toad weigh about 40,000#.

[Ivylog]

6.5 out west and 7.5 in the east at 65+ and 44K lbs. My combined car/MH is 13 as we usually put as many miles on the car. I just bought a Prius so my combined may go to 28 MPG.
*I did a 100 mile test at 45 MPH on a rural WY road and got 10 MPG but I did not want to take another day to get home or be a slow poke holding up traffic. Actually at 90 miles into the test I put the pedal to the metal.:B
Without posting the speed you run at and how much you weigh a MPG does not mean much. OP, by pulling a car your combined MPG can be much better than your diesel PU and 5er.

[RLHAMILTON]

We get 9-10 on average. However, when on flat ground (Texas) we have gotten as much as 12.

[rgatijnet1]

It depends on whether we were traveling out in the Western mountains, the Great Plains heavy winds, or Eastern flatlands. I would guess that with the DP's I had a 7-8 MPG was a reasonable average. Extensive mountain travel can drop the mileage to around 5-6 mpg.

[Tinstar]

Average about 9 but if I slow down to 55 - 60 I'll get 10.

[Executive45]

I consistently get a combined 22 mpg, city and highway....Dennis

10 on the coach and 34 with the car, depending of course how they're driven....D

Our Newmar is 28000# empty with a Cummins 8.3 /350 horse boosted to 425 horse, and we have averaged 10.25 over 32,000 miles, most the factor is how the coach is driven, when we run at 70 we get 7mph 60 is our sweet spot.
