logman,
Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new Charleston. What size is the rig and what engine do you have? I have the 6.8L 340hp Cummins and I average around 10mpg. I also use Howe's Diesel Treat which claims to improve mileage. I don't know if it is helping because I have used it since I first picked the motor home up and have never run the rig with out it.

When do you add the Howe's diesel treat and how often?

Debbie,
I add the Howe's every fill up. Been using it since the second fill up so I don't know if it helps the mileage or if I would have gotten the same mileage with out it. I first saw it at a Freightliner dealer and asked the counter man if it was any good. He said many of the truckers use and like it so I figured that it couldn't hurt.

Hello all...I have a 2009 Charleston with the Cummins ISL 8.9 L Turbo Diesel, 425 HP. I get around 8mpg. Had a few issues here and there, mainly the dealers blaming each other for issues, "its the coach manufacturer", or "its Fleetwood", blah, blah.. Its very frustrating when you spend this much and can't get good service. The unit is very nice to drive. Currently my dash air is not working at all (and they just fixed it). I bought it as a dealer demo unit about a year ago, it had 6.5K on it, now I have around 8.5K. Plan on heading out this weekend, guess I will try a can of freon and hope for the best.
