I used to have a 27 footer with a Ford 460, and it got around 8 mpg. I felt like the ugly American just starting it up (not to mention the price of fuel), so that's why I traded into the Toyota. I have heard of some people who get up into the 18's with them, but talk is cheap on mileage. I trust what is said on this forum, because people here actually run the numbers instead of making optimistic guesses on mpg etc.
The alternator kill switch would probably help a bunch since the coach battery as well as the truck battery are kept topped off by it. I do run the tires at max pressure as indicated on the sidewalls (64 psi), and I always run as lightly loaded as I consider possible. And that air dam idea sounds like a winner too. Thanks for the ideas; I'll give them a try! Any other ideas?
