1/20/14 Day 159 First Trip
Off we go. No bed room and lots of trim to do but it will do. We did get the water tank installed in the bedroom so all the plumbing works. We have the sofa or the dinette for a sleeping area.
Here was our first night stop in Mooresville N.C.. Notice no snow! Truck ran great. Through the West Virginia mountain and never had to downshift and was running 65mph at the top of even the tallest/longest. Mostly ran 65 but 70 was easy enough to do. Cruise control worked great and sure made driving easy once we got out of the big mountains. Only bad thing, 8 mpg. I was hoping for 10 and may get a little better on flat ground but it wouldn't be 10. That's the price you pay for the fun of passing people going up hill vs the old truck going 35 mph up those mountains!
Oh the other adventure is me learning this 10 speed Eaton Fuller non-synced trans. Its coming but I have to learn to be a little slower on the shifts and it all falls in there. More details after Daytona!
