Hi all.... I am just wondering what others are getting for fuel mileage while hauling their TC... I have a 2004 Lance 1161 on a 2006 F350 DRW with the 6.0 diesel, with Torklift Stabiloads and Air Lift 5000 for suspension mods. Traveling with about 1/3 full freshwater tank for limited used while traveling and full propane. Did a trip this past weekend from northern Vermont to Connecticut and averaged 11.6 MPG in about 600 miles, with some of that being city driving. The bulk was interstate travel but up and down hills. Just curious.....Am I in the ballpark? Planning a trip down Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway in about a month and wondering if I will be about the same, better, or worse.... Thanks...

Seems reasonable. 04 Lance 1121 on a F-350 7.3 CC diesel dually. 11.5 to 13 mpg at 62 mph, depending on mountainous or flatland driving.

If I average 11 mpg I'm doing good. Usually get about 10 mpg.
