Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average MPG for an RV?
It varies significantly by type. Class A motorhomes average 6-8 MPG, Class C motorhomes get 10-14 MPG, and Class B camper vans achieve 16-22 MPG. Travel trailers reduce your tow vehicle's MPG to roughly 8-12, and fifth wheels average 8-10 MPG. These estimates assume normal driving conditions.
Does towing a travel trailer count differently than a motorhome?
Yes. With a travel trailer or fifth wheel, you're burning fuel in your tow vehicle, which typically gets worse mileage when towing. This calculator uses the combined towing MPG for towable RVs, not the vehicle's unloaded MPG.
How can I improve my RV's fuel efficiency?
Drive 55-60 MPH instead of 70+ (speed is the biggest factor), keep tires properly inflated, reduce wind resistance by closing awnings and vents, avoid heavy acceleration, and minimize idling. Properly loading and leveling your RV also helps. These tips can improve fuel efficiency by 10-20%.
