No kidding. Of course, I would be the only one that knew I was riding around with a tent the price of a 4 wheeler on the roof
Did a real world mileage check on the white Freightliner on the round trip to MardiCrawl this weekend. Figured this would be the best I could ever expect bringing just one rig on the back, no trailer, and a little over 100 miles each way on the Natchez Trace. 55ish mph on the Trace (hard with the hills) and 65ish on Hwy82. Averaged 11.17mpg! Not bad for an 'ol Freightshaker... 
I'll take it.

I got the typical 8 ish in the Tundra, and had to stop every fxxxing 200 miles. I'll get a real truck one day.
Heck, I still had nearly 3/4 of a tank when I got home. Some day I gotta figure out how much fuel this thing holds.
That's cool Bossman.
JT you need to guinea pig the Nissan for us.

That is real good gas mileage, Bossman.
I was in the 8 mpg range traveling between 55 and 70 mph towing the zuk with the 80. I don't think 8 mpg is bad for a 400 hp motor, JT. hell i was getting 11 mpg in the duramax towing and never got better that 15 mpg. I still don't think a diesel is worth the added cost of fuel and maintenance for the amount that i tow in a year.

I figure it will drop 1 or maybe 2 mpg towing a second on a trailer. Will try to check that next.
I do agree, Lenny. Hard to justify the extra cost of a diesel with fuel upside down like it is.

In yet another full-circle moment, with all this Boy Scout camping I have in store for me, i think I need another 1/4 ton military trailer.
Please keep an eye out for me. U.S. or Canadian.

Also the zipper on my Mumbassa tent cover took a dump. It makes me sad.
I think I'll add some grommets to the front and just use a bungee to keep air and rain from getting under it.

Trd parts 4 u has replacement covers. I put one on mine. Good as new.
How much of the frame has to be removed to get the cover on?
Zero. It slides in a grove if you are talking about the travel cover.
Mine is attached under the frame.
I'm not sure the exact model of mine.
It's off the truck. I'll look again.
