About 8-9mpg, I was keeping it around 65-70mph to make it back in a couple of days. At 55-58, I got just over 10, sometimes around 11mpg. At 75, 7.5mpg.

Equal-i-zer 1200/12000lb keep it straight and true, with big trucks causing a uniform push of the trailer and truck at first, then an equal pull about 3/4s of the way thru the pass. I know the hitch is overkill, but it worked out fine.

Hookup/hitch setup at Holman's RV Batavia, OH. Measure, adjust, hookup again, repeated about 2 times. Following manufactures directions put it spot on. 3/4 inch squat in front and back, nice an even.


Back in Colorado
Very Nice Combo! Hope to have something similar someday.
