ANSWER: Greetings Stacey thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.
Ahh yes, the age-old RVers question what fuel mileage am I going to get in my RV? Well, I am afraid there is no definite answer to this question.
RV Fuel mileage depends on a lot of factors such as how much does the RV weigh when it is full of all of your camping stuff, are you going to be towing another vehicle behind it (a Toad), how fast you drive (staying at 55 miles or below will save you fuel), a well-maintained engine will get better fuel mileage than one that is not well maintained, and so on and so on.
Based on the factors above you could expect mileage to vary between 7 to 11 miles per gallon and this is only a guess on my part, your actual fuel mileage could be better or worse.
