MPG on a REDHAWK 26XD

Just purchased a REDHAWK 26XD and my question is what is the MPG on the F450 platform?

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you all, picking up the XD Wednesday and heading out Friday on a 200 miles destination and dry camping for 2 nights. Should I fill the fresh water tank before I leave or fill up close to my destination to save on gas? Thanks

Frankly, I’d fill it. It won’t make much, if any, difference in your mileage. I feel it is important to have the water with you, in case of an emergency on the road. Enjoy your new unit and ride safely !!

.

I'm taking my RV orientation before picking up my XD, any suggestions to ensure fit and finish? I was under the impression that JAYCO is a quality unit.

You can expect anywhere from 6-10 MPG depending on numerous factors.

Enjoy your new rig!

I was pumping gas at a station out on the road, when a fellow on the opposite side of the pump ask me, that same question.
I said that if I had needed to know that, then maybe I shouldn't have bought the rig. It is what it is.
I just fill it, drive until the gauge says 1/2 full, and I fill it back up.
