Not Bad for milage
Just towed from Staunton VA to Haddon Heights NJ. Did 81-->66-->495-->95-->295. Hit some traffic. Stopped one time, did it on one tank getting home with a gallon to spare. I don't typically ride on the edge but this time it was out of necessity. My half ton averaged 11.6 MPG pulling about 6300 lbs. Overall I am pretty impressed with that number since there were some pretty good inclines on 81 and 66.
One thing I noticed though is that on those inclines there seemed to be more sway, less control than I am used to. Rig was level, small amount of air in my coil spring air bags (18-20 PSI) and a fairly balanced load with no water in the tanks.
My hitch is an E2 (which I am not in love with but it gets the job done). Kenda Karrier Load Range D's on the trailer, and Cooper LT's on the TV. Straight and slight incline/decline road surfaces are smooth but larger grade inclines seem to introduce sway. Any thoughts/suggestions/tweaks to the hitch that anyone can recommend?
