I don't blame you there. That's a thirsty beast.Not just camping. We have a boat that burns about 10 gallons per hour. It may be sitting at the dock all summer
It went camping."Fuel prices are irrelevant" . . . what happened to REALITY ?
That's up on plane (25 MPH). We typically only go about 1 or 2 miles away from our dock and anchor for the day but usually take a cruise 5 or so miles up river and back each time but may have to cut that out this year and just go anchor.I don't blame you there. That's a thirsty beast.
So. 6.29 for diesel in my part of PA. 4.35 for Gas.My son has a 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2670MK that he bought to live in while working on the road but it had been sitting for about the last 12 months. He traded in the 2018 2500 6.4 he was towing it with and got a 2021 2500 Cummins. Today him and his wife and their 6 week old son and their dog packed it up and went camping at Geneva On The Lake (Ohio). First time he towed with his new truck. Said his dash readout read 12.5 MPG. We weighed it before with his old truck and it weighed 8100lbs and he averaged about 8 MPG with the 6.4 4.10's.View attachment 493739

Diesel is 5.99 around here but his company pays for his fuel. He said he would probably be paying for this trip out of pocket since it is his time but for the last 3 years he has not paid for any fuel in his trucksSo. 6.29 for diesel in my part of PA. 4.35 for Gas.
We usually go no further than 200 miles.
200 @ 12.5 is 16 Gallon. 16 @ 6.29 is 100.64
200 @ 8 is 25. 25@ 4.35 is 108.75.
Got to add in DEF. Still happy with my choice. If I was towing further or went back to feeling like I had to get somewhere faster...who knows.
But Currently going the back roads and giving myself plenty of time...
And over last year...it does suck to pay more in fuel for sure...but it really has not been that much of a difference on our trips so far. We just enjoy the campground more, and hike or bike more than sightseeing in the RAM.
Campgrounds are still booked solid...so it has not affected people yet.
Of course it's diesel vs gas engine.My son has a 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2670MK that he bought to live in while working on the road but it had been sitting for about the last 12 months.
