85 mph? Wonder if the helper has seen the new TV show, "Arrested in a
Foreign Country," yet? ;<))))

Well with the big motor homes most people pull a car behind for this

That's true, but 15 versus 7 mpg should heavily bias the decision toward
a trailer, I should think.

My friend Geoff, that I referred to earlier about buying the motorhome in
the south last winter and driving it home To Canada, said that he was
impressed with the mileage.
I am going by memory here and my recollection might not be exactly correct
but essentially it is that on the leg from Chicago to Minneapolis in
December or January of this past winter, it did better than 10 mpg (US
gallon - not Imperial) at 85 mph while dragging his PT Cruiser behind on a
dolly.
I don't recall exactly what brand it is but it is a 42 foot diesel pusher
with an 8 point something liter Cummins diesel. Essentially a Greyhound
bus with furniture.
Geoff was holding the speed down around 60 mph when he drove but a friend
who went along to help, drove the Chicago to Minneapolis leg while Geoff
slept. He only knows how fast they were going because he checked the GPS
after the fact. He was not truly thrilled that his helper had driven that
fast in winter, towing a car etc.
