Just got back home from a trip through central NSW and Qld towing the Kimberley Kamper.
Thought these figures might be of interest to some, I have converted to mpg because I am old and l/100 ks means nothing to me!
The Patrol is a GU IV 4.2tdi with 285X75X16 tyres
Canberra to Cobar 16.9 mpg - 16.7 l/100k
Cobar to Quilpie 18.07 mpg - 15.63 l/100k
Quilpie to Longreach 18.3 mpg - 15.44 l/100k
Longreach to Lark Quarry to Longreach 14.95 mpg - 18.90 l/100k (big head wind from Winton to Longreach)
Longreach to Mitchell 16.85 mpg - 16.76 l/100k
Mitchell to Nambour 18.1 mpg - 15.61 l/100k
Nambour to Coonabarabran 16.33 mpg - 17.30 l/100k
Coonabarabran to Canberra 16.8 mpg - 16.81 l/100k
Without the camper attached, but roof rack on, I can expect around 19-20 mpg. The 18+mpg figures where achieved travelling at around 95 kph. the 16+ mpg where at around 100-110 kph.
