WARNING! greedy RV'er among you

Hey all - Here is the skinny. I have a Toyota based Class C motorhome, an 86' Mini-Cruiser, 4 cylinder, fuel injected 22RE with auto trans. Gets 15 to 18 mpg at 60 mph but I want (and think) I can do better. My daily driver is an 89' Volvo 240 with over 250,000 miles (yep, the swedish brick). I'm here to learn.

Mike aka Trailcat

Read the list of things at the top of the page.

Basically, slow down if you can. And you will benefit from aerodynamic mods.

trailcat -

Welcome to EM! Unless you're going to eat my ham sandwich. I hear greedy RV'ers steal ham sandwiches. Maybe it's just a rumor.
