Had our first trip over Memorial Day weekend. Drove from Colorado Springs over Wilkerson Pass to stay three days in Buena Vista for the paddling festival, then down south over Poncha Pass and stayed at Great Sand Dunes for a couple days, finally drove over La Veta pass to Walsenburg then up I-25 back to Colorado Springs. On most of the roads I could maintain 60mph or so either in 3rd or 4th depending on the terrain. However going west over Wilkerson pass at 9500ft, I had to downshift to 2nd to maintain about 40-45 mph. Overall averaged 10.6 mpg while towing.
The camper worked our well for us, two adults and two four year old kids. The second campground did not have sewer connection and we did not realize how fast a quicker shower can fill the gray tank. Good lesson learned.
