Hi all,
We successfully completed our virtually trouble free cross country adventure two days ago. In circumnavigating the Maritime Provinces in eastern Canada from southern Oregon we covered 11,000 miles, 20 states, and 4 Canadian provinces in just under three months driving the least significant roads we could find that were paved. Had a blast. Overall mileage was 8.4 on a wide range of types and quality of fuel. We will detail our adventure, what we did to prep the coach and ourselves, and share many of our observations at the upcoming GMC Western States rally in Las Vegas in October. The only issues were a failed starter solenoid right at the beginning of our adventure, one blown tire (replaced for free nine weeks later by our regional tire company) and a broken battery plate apparently caused by the very rough roads around the eastern tip of Nova Scotia. Other than that our 32 year old coach glided across the country like it would have the day it was new.
