Not sure, but we lost about 1.5 mpg going from a 2720 to a 3023 using the same TV. I think it has to do with the length of air drag behind the TV. But there too many variables to be certain of the true effect. additional 200 to 400 lbs, tires, how the brakes are adjusted, etc.. and the 3023 was about 1.5" taller than the 2720, which I had to adjust the hitch to compensate etc... But the AC unit on the 3023 has a lower profile with less air drag. But I think there is a loss due to the length air drag by 1 - 2 mpg?

Thanks for the response. That's about what I was thinking. I've also been looking at some video's of the 3023. Since you went from a 2720 to the 3023, would you say the space difference is worth the trade-off of a mile or two per gallon? I haven't actually seen either in person. I'm thinking we'd probably rather have a little more space than the 2720 but hard to compare exactly just looking at pictures. 3023 or 3124 both look more roomy.
