Well back from a long weekend, but had a great time at the automotive swap meet.
few weeks back i wieghed my motohome. no family or luggage just motorhome, full tank of gas and me
the drive and steering axle were backwards on the printout
I loaded for the swap meet:
now keep in mined at the below picture the coach is flat and trailer is on a grade, when on the street everything pulled level
and on the way to the swap meet i stopped and weighed again
40lbs away from gvw
needles to say the rig did awesome, with the 360 motor all tuned, new tires, external tranny cooler, new springs and shocks this year she really did great
I was able to 6.5 miles to the gallon @63 (i normally get 10.9 pulling s10 trailer)

Well 2013 went great, motorhome did awesome, we ran 68mph most of the time. this is what 6.15mpg looks like..lol
she was squatting just a little bit from the trailer weight, but on the way home with half trailer she sat up tall(didn't get pics of the return trip)
