meatwagon,
Should get approx 15 MPG at 65 MPH and 16.5 MPG at 55-58 MPH with your 825 when traveling. How do we know? Our 2004.5 Chev D/A CC LB 4X4 with our option loaded Lance 915 (9.5' with the steel rear porch for my disabled wife) averaged 14.2 - 15.3 ate 58-60 MPH (cruise control) for the 44,300 miles we had it on the D/A truck. Was replaced in 2009 with our 11'4" heavy option loaded Lance that weighs 3872 lbs when shipped from California (weight as shipped is on the final inspection page in the owners packet) and has 38,700 miles and change carrying it with getting 13.7 to 14.9 MPG on the truck. Always has the porch on the back as it's a must. Wife keeps very accurate log books and it's all hand calculated but the DIC is also very accurate on the GM trucks. Our truck now has a little over 136,000 on it before we head to Florida with the 5th wheel behind on our annual trip from Michigan to visit relatives. Truck is and has been ONLY used for RV travel with the TC's or the 5th wheel since the truck was new but we've also added a 26' long 7100 lb TT last spring. Yes, we do a lot of rv'ing every year. Average 85 to 130 nights yearly and several trips across the USA and Canada and Alaska trips also. We are "travelnutz"
I think you're going to be very happy with your MPG's, we sure are and that's why we keep our totally trouble free truck! It's barely broken it now! Fantastic truck!
