After 7 long years, I finally took the Road Machine on an overnight camping trip. Nothing special, just a trip to the rocket range. Total miles, including a few stops along the way 160.
Problems: one very strange and unexpected one. At one of the stops, The coach wouldn't start. quick inspection showed the starter solenoid wire basically broke at the crimp lug. I have been driving the coach to and from the office about once a week and a bit on weekends just to shake out any things such as this. Of course, it didn't happen until my son and I were on a trip only an hour after SHE said "Call me if you break down!" New GMC Rule: Nobody is allowed to say that anymore!
Ran the Onan and both roof airs all day (105* day) and the microwave for lunch. All went well on that front.
No Fuel consumption. Tank wasn't full when we left.
