I get 10.5 to 11.5 towing a 29 foot Surveyor with my 2006 F150......and I am really careful on the accelerator (and brake, if that makes sense). The Elkmont is lighter and shorter, but don't expect to get much over 12 mpg. The frontal area just kills gas mileage. That is the big advantage of the fold down models.
In comparision, I got 14.5 to 16.3 mpg with my truck and a 2720, with the average being around 15.2 or so. The better mileages were along interstate, and the lower ones were in combinations. You still have to get 3400 extra pounds moving from a stop, plus the weight of the camping gear and stuff in your TV.
