Class C vs 5 wheel

[dgilbert]

Getting closer to a decision hopefully, the one thing I have not got is an estimate on gas mileage when pulling a 35'-39' 5th wheel (in my case a toy hauler) with a my 2014 F-350 single axle 6.7 diesel? I do not have any performance program in the truck at this time.

From what I have found out, a class C Ford V-10 30 footer pulling a small enclosed trailer, talking 10', gets around 8 to 9 MPG.

So if any of the green screen'ers has something comparable please chime in.

Thank in advance.

You mean MPG not GPM, correct?

Probably what it looks like now. It's in Panama City Florida right now.

I've got a 31' bumperpull and get 12-14MPG pulling it, its about 7k lbs, with an F-250.

I've gotten as low as 6 though pulling into a west texas wind.

It seems the toy hauler has grown in popularity over the last several years was hoping someone here was hauling one around.

Have a 29 ft 5th wheel and pull with a 3/4 ton 2500 chevy and get 10 mpg. We rented a class C this summer and went to Mt Rushmore and got 10 mpg.
1. 5th wheel un kook and you have a vehical to go on day trips.
2. class C you have to rent or pull your day trip ride. Then you have to buy gas for that car.
Thats your biggest decision I believe.
MPG is not good either way. Shouldnt be the deciding factor IMO.
