Mystery

I last looked at the total mileage on the coach sometime last year or the year before.
At the time it was 36,8084 miles.
Well today looked and it is over 47,00 miles.It is Oct 7, 2019 unless I'm in a time warp. Trump was President when I went to bed last night or was he.
The trip to Michigan and back was appx 1400 miles in June. The trip out here was a bit over 1,800 miles.
This year we moved the coach about 100 miles total from one storage area to another and then this trip.
I have the mileage, back home recorded on a n Insurance form from the last time I looked.
My shoes are the same ones I wore last month and my clothes are not worn out.
I there a worm hole on I40 somewhere, or has Arizona half way round the world??
Where did appx 11,000 miles go. You don't suppose we picked up the wrong coach..not.
Maybe I better check the serial number in the am. :)

    No maybe Trumps fuzzy math numbers do work for him LOL
    This is the 2nd thread I’ve come across today, out of just a handful of threads I’ve read, in which Crawford has gone well out of his way to inject his political views into an unrelated topic. Does he really think anyone comes here for that, or anyone else’s political preferences?

    If he's getting better then 30 MPG with a a class I want what he is smoking LOL

    It's ultra low sulfur diesel! Ony smokes when you hit the throttle though.

    Well I'm going to add up the receipts for fuel for the last two years. Right now it appears we have been getting about 32mpg. Hot dang. I hadn't been getting much sleep and at one place in eastern Az, the pump was so slow I went back in the coach and got a stool and sat there nearly dozing waiting for it to fill, maybe I filled the coach behind me as so far on this trip 284 gallons off diesel but at 32 mpg I should have only used half a tank or so getting here.
    Now all you Drivers who been getting 8 to 10 mpg eat your hearts out...and quit pulling up behind me to fill your tank when I'm asleep.

    Ya, not a KM vs Miles. Good thought, but the math doesn't work.

    47,000 KM times .6 miles/KM= 28,200 miles

    True but miles to KM is 1.6 If the reading was miles swithing to KM would increase it.

    Still you are right.. Also he drove a few thousand miles in there smoewhere and dropped a zero

    Another possibility On my dash there are THREE odometers
    Trip 1
    Trip 2
    Total since initial startup back on 2004
    A tap of a button and it changes. Takes a couple buttons to change to KM

    If you never use the trip meter, perhaps it was actually on trip meter you were originally reading, and it got reset to show actual miles on the rv. I seldom ever use the one on my truck, but occasionally go to read the odometer, and its on the trip meter. If no one has reset the trip meter in years, it can read pretty high mileage.
