Smile Good trip!
Just found out my parents are back from there trip the Alaska. Dad said he put 8000klm on the 6.0l pulling the camper and she didn't skip a beat once!! Their fuel bill was a lot less than he thought, he said around $2800. Best he saw was 13.5mpg pulling the trailer.

The camper is in that 28' to 30' range! I think it's about 9000lbs.

That`s a good load for that fuel mileage and factor in some wind the PSD did well.

Ya! I think they had a good time! Haven't heard all about it yet but I'm sure I will. Dad said there were a lot of big hills, so that helps the mileage when your going down anyway!

13.5 mpg is not too shabby, considering the size and weight of the trailer.
