Loaded vs Unloaded

New to RV Life. New to RVing, etc.

On the RV Life Trip Wizard, it would be a nice addition to add a toggle for "loaded" and "unloaded" for MPG calculations.

We're going to unhook and drive into cities, drive all over the state, and then hook up and go on. I get 7mpg loaded and about 15 unloaded. The trip should be about 20% less cost based on this. It's just a HOPE, not a major thing.

I can't believe I'm having to average $4.70 per gallon fuel costs just to plan for this trip, that only a little over a year ago would have been $2 a gallon.

And welcome to the RV lifestyle. The price of fuel is part of the experience, I roll with the punch of fuel price.
Figure on the highest fuel price anticipated, then less will make you feel better.
