1360 miles, 152 gallons of gas. No significant problems.
We loaded up the kids at 3 a.m. CST the saturday before Thanksgiving and drove from Indian Springs Village AL to Indiantown FL in a little over 14 hours, which included 3 one hour stops.
Coach ran wonderfully the entire way. During the week went out to Jeff Sirum's shop for some junkyard parts, some new odds and ends, and a new radio to replace the casette player that gave out a few trips ago. Jeff got the new radio in, plus some new speakers that fit in the old holes, aimed my headlights so that they were actually useful again, and helped me stop a very slow transmission leak through a pan bolt hole.
Came home in traffic over two days up 75 to Cordele GA, then 280 and assorted back roads home to Birmingham. Traffic was awful and we averaged the 675 or so miles at less than 50 mph. Thanks Ken Henderson for offering to put us up when we called, sorry the kids didn't hold out long enough to make it to your place.
Got a ticket for rolling through a stop sign in the middle of GA. Didn't see the sign early enough and there was no way the coach was going to stop without being in the intersection. Cop took a look at my AL license and saw the free dollar signs. Can't complain too much, I did actually roll through it.
Use your coaches folks. They run better the more you use them. Having said that, after getting home I winterized mine and it is done until February at the earliest.
Thanks,
