Towing Caravans

[ticktocktaffy]

Hi there all, I,m looking for information on fuel consumption for my 3.0ltr towing a large 5 berth twin axle caravan.
What kind of mpg can I expect?
Any help will be gratefully recieved.

From other caravanners on here I'd say between 15-20.

mpg!!!!!!!!!

hi, i tow a single axle caravan, and tend to get about 20mpg, taking it fairly steady. excellent at towing, forget its on the back sometimes!!!

I tow a horse trailer with one horse in & reckon I get between 15 & 20

It is fantastic to tow with though

Took my 1350Kg single axle away for the Mayday weekend and with a bit of running around between tows got 17.86 average for the tankful

I tow a 1440kg single axle caravan with my Surf and get 15.5 mpg running on a 3rd veg oil, but I don`t get much more than that without the van.

Depends on the road hills and how often your up and down the gearbox, but I get round about the 20mpg towing a 1500k catering trailer but it is flat fronted so it is like having a huge sail behind you, but once you get up to speed it is great and holds the road well.

I tow a big single axle caravan and don't care about the mpg - jsut happy to have such a good truck as the surf as a tow -er.

Used to have a 2.8 pajero - don't ask!!!!!!

Seriously, I get about 17-20 ish (would it be better with an intercooler)
