It weighs 9400 fully loaded, food water and supplies. It might peak at 9500 and as far as gas mileage goes it aint real good, about 6 to 8 I guess. The truck did well pulling it for 60 or so miles some of that hilly I might add. the trailers 34'11 long so I have the sliding hitch. Theres about 1375 pounds on the hitch.

Nice rig. You sure are at the limits of truck capability!
The sliding fifth wheel hitch, I would not position it more
than two inches aft of axle.
Looks like you are gonna have some fun with that rig!
