Anyone out there have one of these? The 2008 I'm looking at has the 6.7 Cummins. The salesman said that it would typically get 10mpg. Is this legit? It's the 35 foot model. Is the 6.7 enough engine if I wanted to pull a samll car on a trailer?

Thanks, and Happy Camping.

Driven carefully, I would say 10 mpg is do able.

You will know the trailer is there, when towing, but also do able.

Thanks Al and Deen. As for a trailer, I was considering a lightweight aluminum to haul my Miata with.

FWIW I think the Miata is 4down towable. Would certainly be easier than a trailer. Save you a couple thousand pounds of trailer too.

I have the same coach, but it is a 38. I pull a jeep and average about 9 mpg.
