Sounds about right. Pulling my 31' 5er last month thru the Eastern Sierras she got 11.6 mpg going and 13.1 mpg on the return trip. 5er is app. 13k loaded. I used the cruise set at 60 mph most of the time wherever possible including on the grades.

I don't have the trip computer, my numbers are hand calculated. My 5er is a tad over 14K and I average 10.0 to 10.5 so far. I've only been from Seattle to Spokane, and Seattle to Phoenix. There's a couple of hills in between.

I get about 10 - 10.5 pulling my TT. Trailer is around 8000# and have a ton of stuff in the bed.
Most of my travels go over the Cascades in Oregon. Sea level to 4000 + on the way.
I use Matt's unlimited tow tune during these travels, and like what it does to shift points.

Mileage is about right. My trlr is 15K 5th wheel. 7K trip this summer. Overall for trip was 10.0mpg, speed generally 60-65mph. Wind, grades, type of road make the most difference. Always tow in tow-haul mode. Only use cruise control if grades are basically level. Two lane highways with small towns, usually kill my mileage. Best mileage always on interstates for me.

and then there is the assistance in braking.

To OP, I get an average of 11 mpg towing my fifth wheel, approx 12000 pounds. I leave tow haul on 100% of the time, figuring the trans will keep the engine happy while towing, but that's just my thinking... MPG goes down a little on steep mountain passes.
