My wife and I recently took a trip from home in Albuquerque to Rapid City, SD to visit family. Two overnight stops each way. The total trip was 1,937 miles with 1,803 towing our 29 foot fifth wheel. It is 9,000 GVWR, and when fully loaded is about 8,800 per the last CAT scale weigh. I have been using the Road Trip lite app to track fuel mileage since at 1,200 miles in October 2021, which keeps track of actual fuel mileage. The overall average for this trip was 12.43 mpg. On most trips, seems I always have a headwind, no matter which way I'm going. Fortunately on this trip on a stretch eastbound out of Cheyenne WY we had a very strong tailwind. It was a hoot to see the EVIC showing instant mpg of up to 40 while cruising at 70!
