traded from a 5th wheel with a diesel duelly (8.5mpg) to a 38' gas MH (8.5mpg) first trip was 880 miles trying to keep up with traffic 70-75mph like I did with the trailer. Found it to be work to keep it from swaying and drifting. Second trip was 280 miles and dropped back to 61mph, found it much easier to control and actually enjoyed the drive. Got to adjust attitude along with my driving skills, to much type A, for my class A.
Indeed, I'm a type A as well. ;) I'm putting together some "rules" for RVing:
1. You are never in a hurry
2. When you get in a hurry refer back to rule #1
3. The 330 rule - never drive more than 330 miles, and get there by 3:30 in the afternoon (my wife read this rule in one of the mags, but I think it's a good one).
I'm sure there will be more rules as we learn. I will say my wife and I are hooked, so there will be lots of learning!!
It sure is looking like 60-62mph is a good number. When we pull out July 14 for 16 days I'll start with a full tank and end with one so I can see what the mpg is over a long (2000 mile) trip.
