What are you gonna be towing? Aerodynamics play a big part.

My 99 5spd got 14-15 towing about 5k in a 6x12 6'6" tall tandem axle cargo trailer. Maybe a little less if it was all in town driving.

27' aerolite camper pretty aerodynamic.

Since it is a camper I am gonna guess it will be mostly highway. I'd expect you to get around 15 MPG.

10 to 13, depending on wind & speed

Sounds like I am being overly optimistic. The auto will hurt you a bit, and I would usually run barely under 2k RPM (68 MPH). If I ran 75 I would get about 12.
