Greetings to all,
We are new to Class A's. Last fall we purchased a 2009 Winnebago Journey, which is 35 feet, weighs +/- 33,000 pounds with a 350 HP Cummings and 6 speed Allison. The original owner indicated fuel mileage would be 10 MPG, which was hard to believe; however, on the 900 mile return trip home after the purchase we indeed got +10 MPG. Then on a trip to FLA in late winter while towing a toad (Subaru Forester +/- 3,300 pounds, manual transmission in neutral and no toad brake dragging ) we only got 8 MPG. I was surprised that the MPG dropped this much (20%). Is this amount of drop in MPG normal or excessive?
Thanks for any input,
Bob Schultz
