    assuming its a flatish deck, the trailer weight will be about 700kg wind resistance will play a factor on ramps and load...

    depending on where you're going to drive (at 10l/100 its obviously a TDI) and your driving technique expect the economy to drop to about 15l/100 for the city 12-13 for comfortable highway cruising and +1l/100 if its the auto

    Towing an 850kg camper trailer with my 300TDI Auto and I typically get around 13lt per 100km, hilly areas though and it goes up to around 15lt per 100k.

    Cheers

    My 300tdi manual Newcastle to Melbourne empty sitting on 97km av. 8.3lt / 100km.
    Towing 2 road race bikes on trailer and all gear including generator and full jerry cans plus 2 passengers at same speed 10.1lt / km.
    I have noticed that if I sit on 110km/hr then the fuel economy goes up to what others have stated.
