Beautiful setup Chris-n-Katy! Hope you extended those mirrors on that Ford before you drove off.
My brother in-law just borrowed our 10' truck camper on his 2012 Dodge (Diesel 3500 Crew cab 4WD SRW 8'bed) for a 5000 mile trip. He normally gets 14mpg empty and reported an overall average with the camper at 11mpg and he was towing a small utility trailer with two Harley Davidson road bikes.
Recently towed my travel trailer with our old 6.5 GM Diesel (something I don't normally do), the trailer weighs just over 10,300lb loaded and we got 11mpg. That's compared to my Suburban which I normally use to tow, and the 454 Vortec gets about 7.5mpg usually.
