You have not mentioned if you have given this a Good Test Run - If you have not then you might make a couple longer Craig's list Runs into Say Florida to be sure all systems are go for the big trip, My Coach sat for 7-8 years with only short runs to the Beach and a few tailgates - 1-200 mile runs - I took off to the Rockies this Summer - Yellowstone - and we had a number of system failures - I'm in a DP so more to be concerned about - Air level blew - Alternator had to be replaced - Shocks had to be replaced, age and Bad Roads - Turbo almost fell off - and last but not least blew the Transmission - so sitting is not good.
Again will try to follow your Adventure,
Of course. A lot of balls in the air. I'm finishing the renovation of a new home, followed by rehabbing the current home for tenants. And i'm recovering from COVID (mild case but no energy)
In the middle of that i acquired the coach. I get little snatches of time to mess with it.
A new trans goes in the day after christmas.
After that I'll start commuting to work in it. (gets the same MPG as my excursion)
That will be a good test- lots of heat cycles and oil consumption.
Hopefully a 1000 mile run on presidents day weekend.
And then maybe a family trip for Spring Break to really test the process.
But we did 5000 miles last summer in the Excursion pulling a trailer. We're pretty road worthy.
