I'll help as I can, fellas. Thanks

Mechanical baseline on both vehicles needs to be top-notch and the proper weight distribution hitch needs to be set up on a certified scale. This is basic, and minimum (and fewer than 10% of all RV'ers do it).

My towing average thus far is 25-cpm assuming $4/gl diesel. That's a more accurate way of looking at tow or solo miles than mpg figures.

Solo has been 15-cpm.

My previous combined figure was 20-cpm . . so the above, at 18-cpm, it is in the ballpark at the start.
