Your MPG are similar to what I get, 10-11 depending on terrain. I pull with Ram 6.7 diesel dually and a 44' gooseneck loaded weight around 11,000 lbs. I get 15-16 MPG with a bumper pull 22' trailer.

Installed the flip down bench this weekend. Because of the e-track, this is the lowest I could mount the workbench and it sits about chest level. I'm going to try it out and see if it's too high. If it's too high, I will just make a set of spacers so the bracket can sit over the e-track.

You've got quite the project going there. Very nice!

Next up for me is to add a PVC strip door for the curb side door. I've chosen the yellow tint that is supposed to help ward off insects. The last time up at Thunderhill the flies were completely out of control. It was disgusting. We had to buy a few dozen fly strips at Walmart to even make it tolerable.

Thought about this some more and simplified everything. Two horizontal bars with stud holes 16" OC, and the 100x100 VESA holes.
