If you are only getting 8.5 mpg, you have the wrong tow vehicle or driving too fast which sucks fuel big time and lowers your mpg's. We average 13.6 with the 29' Carriage Carrilite 5th wheel behind and 14.5 with the 11'4" Lance truck camper on. That's hand calculated recorded in our log book since 2004 with our present truck with a little over 150,000 miles of RV travel so far with the truck. 58-60 mph on Interstates and never faster. Speed limit on other roads.
I have a 32' Class C F450 V10, towing a small 4x4 Colorado and 9-MPG on flat Florida roads at 55-60MPH and never faster is all your going to get. Worse if there is a head wind. And don't even think about running the generator while driving.
