CAT 450HP engine fuel mileage
I have a friend that claims he gets 10.5 MPG at 75 mph in his 2001 450HP Cat 40Ft beaver PT motorhome and his average is 9.5?? I only get 7.5 in my ISL425 and I only drive 63MPH ? Is this believable...

I have a 36' Safari DP. How do you tilt the coach to one side or the other with the air bags. On mine all air bags deflate at once.
Gswcgi, our leveling system can be set in auto or manual mode. I can manually adjust all four corners of our coach on the 10 airbags or with the hydraulic levelers. When I pull into the diesel pump area, I hit 'manual' on our leveling pad and I hold down the 'lower' button for the right front and right rear. It automatically chooses air leveling as I have to specifically hit 'hydraulic' if I want to use the level legs. The coach starts releasing air from the airbags and I start leaning towards the passenger side. Instead of using 'lower', I could hit 'raise' on the driver's side (front and rear) and the coach will rise which will, again, lean me over to the passenger side.
Sometimes, the 'twisting' light will illuminate on the pad and I'll stop the front and/or rear, most of the time it won't twist (all depends on the angle). Once I'm done, I start the coach and hit 'travel' and we level-out and are ready to go and my fuel tank is tip-top full!
There is also a 'raise all' and 'lower all' button if I want to raise or lower the WHOLE coach manually on the airbags.
