The new trailer replaced a Coyote Sport 180 that weighed about 3400lbs unloaded and right at 4000lbs. loaded. I took this trailer to Alaska and back last summer. I only averaged about 10mpg with this trailer.

One thing you might look into is trying to tow a bit more level -- this won't help your gas mileage, but it is supposed to be better for your trailer as the load will be distributed more equally over the front and rear trailer axle...
Beautiful new trailer and photos as usual nola! I can’t wait to see you’re Yellowstone shots. With almost 28 foot in length and the slide-out, it must feel like the Ritz Carton in there compared to your ole 18 footer. I am so jealous of that full size bath tub in the back too………Very,
