I'm looking at purchasing a 1979 35F with a Cat 3208. I've looked all over the web for MPG ratings, but can't find zip! The owner insures me that the vehicle will get better than 10 MPG, but others have said to expect only 7 MPG. Obviously, conditions affect results, but I'm just trying to find some raw data. (1) Can someone please give me a realistic idea of the MPG range for this creature? (2) I was thinking of towing, on a one time basis, a 32 foot Holiday Rambler travel trailer. Can the bird do it if I baby it at around 45 MPH? (3) What's the resale market for the birds? Will I be married to this beast, like a siamese twin to his sibling, or do these things move when put up for sale? (4) I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks........Henry Claeys at 1.888.745.1439 or at claeys@rgv.net

1.I had a 1979 35 ft FC bird and 7.6 was it per gallon. I too have heard of people claiming better milage but I never saw any.
Yes it would tow the trailer but best you rig the trailer brakes.
average price has been 28,000 to 36,000
They dont move too very fast but with time they will sell they are a very strong unit and tough!
