When we show our coach at open house, I often get questioned about why I don’t just write a book about all the changes that we made to our ’77 23’ GMC to improve our touring so that, “I can pick out the one that I want to do”.
The book is now available on my web site, smallrvtouring.com , where you can read about the book in both printed and e-book form. It is for sale from the publisher if you want to read about all our changes. We started with a gutted coach and hired experienced GMC technical people to do the excellent work.
I think the one that will interest the GMC group the most is how I improved my gas mileage from 8 mpg to 11.5 mpg over my testing route that includes two 6% grades that forced me to slow down from 65 to 58 mph to maintain my 43% improved gas mileage. The system paid for itself in ~1,400 miles when gas cost $3.20/gal. There is a detailed account that you can follow if you want to do the same for your GMC. It is a hybrid HHO system for a four barrel carb. I do not tow and my coach only weighs 10,000 pounds in full travel conditions. The secret is leaning out the cruise barrels and not opening up the power barrels below 6” of vacuum to maintain the improved gas mileage. Your option is to keep the vacuum above 6 inches or maintain your speed up the 6% hills. DynoShop turned the engine and passed my CA emission testing. DynoShop puts HHO systems in both big gasoline and diesel engined trucks.
I plan to be at the GMCWS fall rally in CO. to answer any questions. The final report is also on the GMCWS technical reports for the recent spring rally. No membership required to down load the power point report in PDF format.
For you 8% of the US male population with northern European ancestry who are red-green color blind like me, I have found a solution that solves that problem for less than $200. If you are red green color blind, this will open up your world to see red, green and all colors just like other humans do. Its amazing to see for the first time. But when I take the lenses off, I can still see through nature’s, and man-made camouflage. I now have the best of both worlds.
