Fuel Mileage w/trailer?

[DAD]

Just wondering how much less fuel mileage you can expect to get pulling a trailer, bunkhouse, leisure lite etc.

Bunkhouse will drop you at least 5-10 MPG, depending on which way the wind is blowing and how hard.

We returned from Gainesville today and our average was 27.3 mpg pulling the piggybacker 2up on superslab 80-90.This was from the ST's readout.At less speed we've gotten as much as 33mpg while pulling.

Hey Dad, did you get one of those new hitches for your GS????

'05 GL 1800 with Aspen Classic pop up camper. 35-37 MPG @ 60-65 MPH.

I really haven't noticed any difference in mpg pulling the Uni-Go. Oh I'm sure there is, it's just that it seems to be so little that I couldn't tell if the difference would be the trailer or the current riding style. My mileage can vary ALOT! :D

I thinks it varies by bike. With my Goldwing 1500 pulling our TimeOut camper I was lucky if I got 25 mpg. With my Harley Ultra Classic pulling the BunkHouse I would get 25 to 30 mpg. With My Voyager get 43 to 45 mpg pulling the BunkHouse w/dolly. Of course the Voyager has the smallest motor of them all, and it probably weighs the least. When pulling the CycleMate Cargo trailer the mpg might drop a couple with any of them no matter how it was loaded.
