If you tow a Aliner or a popup and your TV has a 4 or a 6 cylinder would you mind posting what your MPG is towing and not as well as what the GVWR is of your camper?
Thank you bob and jackie

Had an Aliner Classic, 995# and pulled it with a 98 F-150 4.2L V-6. Cruising 65, we got 17 towing. Don't know what we got at 65 not towing as I never went that slow.  Hardly felt the Aliner as it was so low profile behind the Leer Shell and under 1000#. Great little trailers!

We've found it's about 3 mpg for an apx 2500 pound camper.
BUT, a lot depends on the actual HP. The lower it is the more the mileage drops.
On my old Ranger 4 banger it cost me 6-7 mpg, new one with the 4.0L only 2-3 mpg.
Even the A/C would drop the four banger 2-3 mpg but only 1 mpg effect on the 4.0L.

Viking Pop rolling at about 3300 lbs
'04 Sienna doing the towing duties
Highway MPG solo average 22
Highway MPG towing average 16
If I can keep the speed at 60, then I get over 17 MPG, but admittedly, rarely keep the speed at 60.
All MPG figures hand calculated.
Since the highest point in FL is 345' above sea level, no mountain towing and only rolling hills.
