Demountable camper group

Never calculated fuel consumption unladen.

With the camper on I have averaged 30mpg a few times in the past over a very long and steady run (probably averaging 56-58 mph).

However, I'm currently struggling to get better than 27mpg.

The BFG AT/KOs have around 30k miles on them now, so maybe the loss of diameter is making a difference. There is also a slight squeek which could be a UJ sticking, which will affect consumption.

Notice you don't mention the camping compendium you insist on carrying around with you, that must factor in their in a negative way surely

Chevrolet LUV 2007

32 empty
28 loaded

Loaded figure taken over a 3000 Mile trip
I'm quite light footed

Hope to improve with new lighter Tischer

Ironically I managed 30 mpg on my way to a friend's house in Germany in 2011 carrying 2 spare wheels, sand ladders, a jerry can of diesel and a full water tank, plus the assortment of un-aero-dynamic metalwork that makes up my roof rails and solar panel array.

I blame tyre wear

Just clocked 7000 miles, filled her up and reset the trip. I then drove home from W-s-M to Devon, approximately 75 miles with 55 of those being motorway, bimbling along at 60mph on the motorway and, just as I was approaching the Exeter turn off, my trip clocked 39mpg average consumption. Looks to be bedding in nicely.

Not bad are they, surprising actually for CC of motor

Went mountain biking at Haldon a few weeks ago and was chatting to a chap that had a Ranger Wildtrak. He was only getting low 20's on a good day.

He must be heavy footed I get 31 to 32 round town 25 loaded in my 3.0ltr

Which of these are either manual/auto though, there should be a difference in consumption for those too of course

Ranger chap had an Auto, my 3.0 D4D's a manual.
