How far can you tow prior to fill up?
Thinking about getting rid of the Class A and getting a different RV for traveling cross country in. So bear with me since I'm really new to TT's. As a newbie to TT's I'm attempting to wrap my head...

Gotta hook up the sway control - some say that helps with fuel.
I don't think that will help with fuel economy, that is all about safety while towing . . . .
The fewest number of steering corrections to maintain lane-centeredness is a DIRECT fuel economy advantage. Argue it with either CUMMINS or KENWORTH who both cite it as problem to correct. Risk minimization is the mantra . . and drivers who are tired from correcting the steering also lose the fine motor skills which are the hallmark of fuel conscious driving.
It's rather nice how safety and fuel economy go hand in hand. Same for a strict observance of the rules of the road.
Fuel economy is all about the small things. Lowered speed is easy . . but only a beginner step.

What kind of steering corrections are you talking about? I find it hard to believe that the ever-so-slight steering wheel adjustment I normally do while driving has much measurable effect on fuel economy. Maybe for an over the road trucker after a million miles or more, but just driving a couple hours to a campground a few times a year?
