MPG ? Rockwood A192 HW

[wozzy53]

Greetings. I've owned a Rockwood A122 in the past and really liked the fact that it didn't kill my mileage while towing it.
I'm thinking about getting a high wall Aframe and was curious as to what it does to others MPG. My tow vehicle is a 2015 Ford F-150 and get 22 mpg when not towing.
Any real world experience with towing a high wall would be appreciated. Thanks.

My TV is a 2004 Toyota 4 runner V8 and it normal mileage is around 18 mpg and towing my A194HW brings me down to around 14 mpg.

My trailer is below the vehicle on height but the sides extend a little pass the TV a few inches on either side and that will cause some wind drag, But it is a very easy tow for me.

I have a 2009 Silverado 1500 fwd and tow a A213HW. It seems to cost around 3 mpg. A little less on the flats, a little more on the hills.

I have a 194 HW, it's towed by my ford ranger. Without towing mpg is somewhere around 17. Towing the camper fully loaded , I get about 13 or 14 mpg

I have a 2010 Ranger, 4.0 with a manual trans. I average 20 mpg in my day to day and when I tow my 212hw I get 15-16 in Utah (mountain passes and such). The key is I never go above 75% throttle, even on a steep grade. It doesnt help much and is borderline abusing my truck. Slow and steady works for me. Campers bigger than my truck anyways...

I limit my speed at 65 mph, and I don't use overdrive as the weak point in my tow rig is the transmission, and 4th gear, aka direct drive, is the strongest gear to tow in.

We have a Flagstaff T21QBHW that we tow with a 2005 Dodge Ram. We typically loose about 3 MPG while towing it. The trailer tows wonderfully!

I have a 2016 Explorer with a 3.5 liter non-turbocharged and I get around 16 mpg, usually driving 60mph or less. I do make heavy use of the cruise control.

Thanks to all who replied. MPG sounds good to me.

I tow a 192HW with a 2011 GMC Sierra 4x4 w/5.3L and 6 speed trans. I'm kind of a lead foot when not towing and get about 16mpg. When towing, lose about 3mpg.

Wind resistance is your greatest enemy. Into a head wind or cross wind makes it worse. With our Silverado pulling a cargo trailer, the MPG drops from 19 mpg to 9 mpg with little difference to the weight in the trailer. On our Class C towing a Jeep Liberty, the mpg drop is insignificant.

What motor? & who cares it a truck! Lol, Buy the camper & enjoy.

I pull a 35 ft with a f150 v8 and get 10 mpg towing and 19 without.

Hello...

We have a 2016 Rockwood A212 HW and us a 2016 F-150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost and get 16-18 mpg while towing it around the mid-west this fall. Surprised how easy it pulls it down the highway.
