Danny- Without knowing your current MPG and engine, it's hard to answer your question accurately. If you're running with a Cat3208 or DD6V92, use the genny for A/C cooling. The smaller engines are going to need all of the power they can get to keep the coach moving! My Perkins uses about 8/10 gallon per hour. It also rarely gets used hard enough- so driving down the road with it on and under load is good exercise. A "lightly" used genset will fail before one that's exercised regularly. The next time that you calculate your MPG, factor in another 8/10 gallon for every 60 miles and see how it affects your numbers. If you log your genny hours, coach mileage and gallons purchased at each fillup, you can easily calculate the difference. In my case, if I used the genset ALL of the time while traveling, it would reduce my MPG by a factor of around 0.4 MPG.
