This weekend I got the opportnity to take are fifth wheel out for some camping. It is the first time, since I installed all my guages that I towed it, and I was worried what the numbers were going to be.

On interstate 44 through the hills in Eureka Mo. I stayed between 65-70 mph, I never got over 1000* egt's. Average egts on free way was about 850. When driving on the hills in the backroads at 50-55 mph I cracked 1050* egt's. Fuel pressure never went below 10.5 pounds, and boost well, it was just up and down like normal.

My water temp stayed at 185* all day. I averaged 13.3 MPG for the trip and I was driving on the hills pretty hard.

When I filled it up, I weighed it all at with the following results:

steer axle 4,020 pounds
drive axle 4,660 pounds
trailer axle 7,700 pounds
total weight 16,380 pounds

I hate thinking this but, I wish my clutch would go out so I could by new injectors, my egt's are just too low.

Those are some good looking gauge readings for that amount of weight behind your rig. Keep it up.

That's my kinda thinking!
