Hi - yes I have looked at both the 100 and the 65 tips pages. driving such a big vehicle and the state of the UK roads does negate quiet a lot of the tips sadly - unexpected / unseen stops, seriously bad driving (tonight I followed someone doing 30 - 35mph in a 60mph area, and slowed to 20mph for any and all bends - pity I was in a hurry to get home to help the mrs go xmas shopping)

the UK is a lot smaller than the us (really? ) and as such the roads are very very heavily congested in most of it. luckily, I live in a quiet area, which helps.

Road testing for mpg / coast down / tuft testing is not really practical here - I live 25 miles / 1 hours drive (due to the wiggly coastal road) from any motorway (interstate?), and nowhere in between is there any big road - its all single carriageway.....

How does tuft testing work on large vehicles with a leaf blower? The reports I have read on here are about small cars, not dirty gert RVs.

Thanks for the intro - heres hoping eh?

Guy
