Breakdown of the first leg of our 2018 Cross Country Trip
Hi Folks. I thought I would post the numbers of our trip. We left Seekonk Ma on June 17 and arrived Carlsbad NM. on July 2. We ran on the interstates to Tuscaloosa Al. Then US routes to Carlsbad. We did visit Palo Duro Canyon which was very enjoyable. Anyway here are the numbers.
Total miles: 2834
Gas used: 356 gallons.
Miles per gallon: 7.9
Average price per gallon: $2.629
Average cost of camp sites per night:$36
Average miles per day:218
We spent 2 days at 3 locations.
Now we are in our "poke" mode and have various places we picked over the winter we want to visit.
I thought the triton would do a little better, but from Texarkana west we hit some pretty rough head winds. In fact there were times I was had a hard time keeping the RV at 60mph. Couple of times the wind almost knocked us off the road. However as I've seen here, be aware of conditions and 2 hands on the wheel.
All in all a great run. Now we can have a hoot at the Roswell UFO festival and get some pie at Pie Town NM. Further information to follow.
