Hi. Just back from our first month long RV trip and realized a toad will enhance our fun. We have a Winni View built on a 6cyl. Mercedes Sprinter 3500 Diesel chassis.  It's rated @5k towing with 500# tongue weight. The ES is FWD and must be pulled 2 up. It's also paid for LOL.
1) Will I be over taxing the engine?
2) How adversely will the MPG's be affected?
I was able to attain 18mpg @ 55 mph and 2025rpm and 16mpg @60 mph and 2150 rpm. on this trip. I know a toad will change these figures???
Regards
Capt.
