I'd hate to think what the mileage would have been on a standard travel trailer with the high, exposed frontal area. Pulling something like that is like dragging a parachute through the air. It makes the engine work as hard as if it were pulling a much heavier trailer and the mileage suffers as a result. I know a lot of travel trailer owners who get 8-10 mpg when towing. None of them goes on long distance touring trips like I do. TrailManor's low profile, like a pop-up tent trailer, is the main reason I got one.
