Went from Myrtle Beach to Naples Florida over the holidays. Our coach is a 38' 2009 Allegro Bay on a 26,000 lb chassis. We were towing a CRV and had the cruise set at 65 for most of the trip. We averaged 6.75 for the trip. We also have the 5 Star download in the ECM and move down the road smartly.

1996 Bounder 36S. 6-7.5mpg before full Banks Powerpak; 6-7.5mpg after full Banks Powerpak. My mpg didn't seem affected by pulling the toad, or not, or whether on the flat or rolling hills.

5.5 mpg on the latest trip, but that included a lot of hills. Towing a Suzuki Escudo/Vitara. With petrol here at $2.12 per LITRE, that equates to about a $1 per mile after taxes refunded. No more short weekend trips!!

Just got back from a 1,000 mile trip from Fresno to west of Yreka and return with plenty of hills. With cruise set at 68 got 7.2 mpg. No toad on this trip. With toad, 97 Jeep Cherokee, on the same trip usually get 6.9.
