I am a little confused.

Just a thought, have you checked to make sure the brakes aren't dragging

My 2002 32' gets 7-8.5 mpg depending on terrain on the open road.

Why would you expect to not loose speed going uphill. Every vehicle I have ever owned looses some speed before shifting down to pick up engine revs and power through the transmission.

One possible reason I haven't seen touched upon

I will first say that I have not read all the other replies, but I haven't seen anything along my first thoughts. On my older (2002 Granite Ridge) the steps are powered off the chassis battery. ...

Cab A/C not blowing correctly

Just my 2 cents as everyone has an opinion

I don't expect my camping experience to be the same as my home. That said, only two heavy draws at a time on 30 amp.

If we are running the A/C, we flip the switch for the WH before we use the...

How mechanically inclined are you and what tools do you have

My install sounds similar to yours. I did a 70" and my slide platform pretty much matches yours. My platform was a full 1" base so I went to Lowes (not endorsing any supplier) and bought a 5/4x6x8'...

2019 Dinghy Towing Guide says 65 max for Ford Edge

That said, my 65 max CR-V I tow at 62-63 on cruise control. Gives me a couple mph for downgrades, etc. It appears his mpg is suffering at 65 as I am usually better than 7.5. At 55 I can top 8 mpg.

It sounds to me like the fuse(s) on the converter (30+A) may be blown and one of the other 12V fuses in the panel may be bad to.

It's your choice

As several others have said it depends on your personal preferences and style. I'll just add that the toad creates a lot more flexibility for us. For example, we did a loop a couple years back for...
