Well after reading the above I am both encouraged and discouraged! My coach isn't really very high mileage at all, but it is, like the others, old - so maybe things have decomposed. I don't know. In the last 10 or 12 years it was only driven on three trips until I started camping this year.

Trip one was from Bakersfield, California to BC then across Canada to Belleville Ontario. Long haul. Second was from Belleville Ontario to Scotch Creek BC. In the interim the coach spent 10 years indoors at a Belleville school bus fleet heated garage. Trip 3 was the delivery journey I made in March of this year, Scotch Creek to Victoria BC. Those trips added about 8500 miles and the odometer just turned 40,000 when I got the coach to the island.

Engine idles and runs smoothly, roars up hills with no problem and doesn't diesel on shutdown. If I were to describe the engine's behavior, I'd have to say she "runs like a top".

So ...do I start messing with things or just leave it be and put up with the popping exhaust on steep downgrades? Confused
