From leaving the pavement to the camping spot. With that vehicle, it’s that distance that kills fuel economy.

Over a years time, what is that distance?

Over on Airstream Trailer & Motorhome Owners Community is contributor, “Moosetags”, with a diesel 4WD pickup plus camper pulling an Airstream. A big budget vehicle for most of us as it was new. This is the third generation as I recall. He and his wife travel for months. The travel trailer gets left behind as the truck ventures off-road.

That would be the “better” approach as to flexibility and fuel economy. The template. His FE not that exciting, but no off-pavement use vehicle will ever be so.

Dirt = Drag.
