I did a 200 mi round trip in my 2 week old EcoD on Aug 23 towing my 7k+ camper loaded for dry camping and 7 long guns, 6 revolvers and a ton of ammo for a shooting match, The rifles were in the back seat and the bed contained a grill, 2 generators, 5 gal of gas, and a gun cart so it was moderately loaded. Towing was smooth and steady. I set the cruise for 62mph. Round trip mileage was 13.9.
This past weekend I did another 200mi round trip loaded the same way but because this waz my third dry camping trip without dumping, I had over 1000lbs of water, including my fresh so my camper was easily 800lbs heavier than tyhe first trip. On the 100 mi trip out which began at about 1120 feet and ended at sea level I averaged 14.8 mpg. The way home was windy, and I averaged 14 mpg. Before I reset my trip meter without thinking I had about 146 miles since my last regen and was showing 20.9% DPF. I have noticed that either because of redesign or the fact that I have a new, unclogged DPF filter it has been going longer between regens.
Speaking of regens, I think when the Peak Blue Def Premium hits the shelves I'm going to start using that to try to keep the DPF from building up as much as I can from the DEF.
