You guys have to be having some of the pogo effect while towing. Most of you guys campers are bigger and heavier than mine, and I just wish I could get rid of the pogo effect when even going over some smaller bumps. I have a screw 4wd eco with 3.31 rear 145wb. Love the way the eco pulls the camper but pogo effect of the truck makes me uneasy. I have the weight distribution kit on and everything looks level. My camper is 26 foot and 5100 pounds dry. But with everything loaded including my family I will say I'm at 6500 max. Suggestions?

Here are a couple pic's from our recent camping trip to one of our favorite fall camping locations, Lake Murray, OK. 2015 Cruiser RV Radiance 28RLSS, 160 Mile round trip ave speed 65, ave mpg about 7, using 91 octane and rear truck tires at 50 psi. I was hoping for better. The day we drove home had head winds of 15 - 20 mph. Pulling to Florida from TX in a couple weeks will go through several tanks of gas on that trip, hoping I get better than 7.
Very happy with both camper and truck.

Your trailer tires are only rated to 65 mph. To average 65, you must be going faster than that at times. Also, has your speedo been corrected for the large tires? If not, you are going faster than your speedo indicates. Use a GPS that shows your speed. Typically, 60-62 is what I do. Any more and the mileage really drops off. I get 9-10 mpg with my 9500 lb fifth wheel. It is a lot more aerodynamic than a TT is.

God forbid we talk about campers for a few posts in a 310 page thread with every camper picture known to man already posted on it twice. If you get nostalgic go back to the start and look at them again, haha
