Forgot to mention that during the midwest trip, I actually got through a DEF low/fill cycle without going in to limp mode, so I think I'll probably be good to hold off till spring on the delete. I'm not sure if that's good or bad ;)
So finally an update...the mileage with the trailer out to Wisconsin was about 11mpg overall...10ish over the mountains and 12ish in the flatlands. This was with the cruise set 65 on the interstates, and maintaining whatever the speed limit was if less.

Bags are on the todo list, maybe I'll move them up and get them in for the long trip this month. Heading out to Wisconsin, so it would probably be nice to smooth it out a bit before that one.
It looks like I was getting between 11-12MPG on the two trips the last two weeks. I'll have better...
The truck pulled great; no motorcycles in the back of the camper, but fully loaded otherwise. The only complaint I have was a slight feeling of a sort of pushing and pulling from the camper. I assume it was the water in the fresh tank sloshing around? The fresh tank is 98 gallons and it was 3/4+...

So...I went to start the process of un-winterizing the camper day before yesterday...
Hooked the hose up to fill up the freshwater tank, I'm thinking I'm super smart and set a 5 minute timer, and go back to the panel to check the level. Still showing on the low light. Great...i'll set another...
Thanks for the reminder Scott!
