3500 miles in 2 weeks

We took a 2 week vacation that ended Sunday. Pulled our 30' Airstream 3500 miles and had a great time. No issues from either the truck or camper. Reset the mileage reading before we left and is indicating 14.2 mileage overall. Quite pleased with that. Utah is a beautiful state.

Sounds like a great trip! We’re in the middle of a 2 week Michigan trip with our 14k 5th wheel. First leg was 440 miles and got 13.5mpg. Latest leg was just over 200 miles and got 14.1. Fairly flat lands out here. I reset the guage at the beginning of every move day. I’m sure it’s inaccurate a bit but that’s what it read and no complaints.

14-ish mpg is outstanding pulling a 14K fiver. 12-13 is excellent.

I was surprised as my previous truck with the 6.2 averaged 6-7. I was mostly happy with being able to just at the cruise control to 65 and enjoy the drive.
