I would like to conduct a survey on fuel economy. I am new to the RV world, we just bought a 25' Jayco and I am towing it behind a 2004 Ford F150 with the 5.4 V8. Truck tows it fine on the straightaway but does a lot of down shifting on slight to steep grades, however, my average fuel comsumption went from 18/19 mpg to about 5/9 mpg on a recent trip from Fl to Ohio and back. I don't know if it would be better to keep this vehicle or invest in a Diesel. If anyone would care to give me some feedback, I would certainly appreciate it. What I would like to know is lenght/weight of RV you are towing, and year/make/engine/[gas/diesel}/hp and average mpg you get from tow vehicle, also your average speed. If I can get enough replys will be glad to post results.
Thanks for your help.
Bud
