Hi again everyone. Just getting settled back in after 17 days on the road, back-to-back cross-country trips, from SoCal to New Jersey in a Chevy Cruze, averaging in real-world conditions 40 m.p.g., then back to California in the same Suzuki Kizashi that Motor Trend drove from Tokyo to LA via Eastern Russia, Alaska, Canada, and the Pacific Coast. That was followed by 1,000 miles from LA to Grand Junction Colorado in a Volvo XC60. I'm worn out, wish I had the 23-footer I'm now looking for to relax in.
I'm writing today to ask a favor of you. At the suggestion of some people in the GMC community, I made a few small corrections in the GMC feature I wrote last month before it was placed in the newest issue of Automotive Traveler.
If you click on the cover graphic, it will take you to the cover of the new issue (the GMC story is the first cover line). If you want to skip to go right to the GMC MotorHome feature, it's on page 23.
I'm hoping that at least some of you will start with the cover and if you don't read through the issue, that you'll at least thumb through it and leave your impressions here. I tried to set up a poll but can't figure out how. (If someone can help me, I'd just like to have a poll that offers the options (A) Excellent, (B) Good, (C) Average, (D) Poor, and (F) Failure as to the overall quality of our effort.)
We've made some editorial changes with this issue; tightened up the package, cut some pages in anticipation of increasing our frequency to monthly from our current eight issue per year. And we're working to having RV-related content in every other issue with an emphasis on retro-RVing. The next topic I'll cover are vintage trailers following the template of the GMC MotorHome feature.
I still can't believe the traction that the original publication of this story received. I was and remain truly flattered. I hope that you'll enjoy seeing the story within the context of an entire issue of Automotive Traveler Magazine.
Can anyone find the two changes/corrections I made to the original version of the story?
Keep your eyes open for a 23-footer for me, especially here on the West Coast or in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, or Colorado.
Two questions. First, what is the published top speed of a GMC MotorHome and what is the fastest any of you have driven your GMC MotorHome? And have any of you added fuel injection to your GMC and if so, how much was the gain in fuel mileage at highway speeds?
Best wishes,
