These old gals are always fun, right? I mean the motorhomes! :o)
I need to find out why the posted text is coming out light grey instead of black when I read it ... oh well...

I'm not sure about my mileage because the speedo cable broke, but after I got the leaks plugged, I seemed to drive for hours without needing gas.... My main tank gauge is the one that's empty, the reserve tank, which is still 50 gal, shows 3/4 when it's full.... when it gets to about 1/4, I fill it up since I have no real idea about that gas gauge .... but I do the same thing when I'm riding a bike... not only is running out of gas bad, but what is worse is pulling up to a station while you're running on fumes, and finding it's closed down and blown away with nothing around but tumbleweeds.

I should have brought my GPS, but I didnt' really want to lug it on the Greyhound.... so I have no real idea about mileage.
I got to hook up the battery charger, havent' driver her since we moved...again.... and the coach batteries are dead... My friends and I were sitting in there, and I think one of them left a light on...they have no idea about MH's...
I did decide to sell her, she's nice to travel in, and I really like it that it's shorter as in not as tall, so not to worry about pulling into gas stations, but OTOH, there's just not enuf storage space to actually live in it. Ok, for a guy there is, for a lady, no!

Thanks for remending me to check the brake master cyl..... pbly needs topped. I used 2 quarts of oil in about 1400 miles, but cosidering it hadn't been run for a few years, I guess that's not too bad.
My friends I bought this coach form told me that they always pumped the brakes, just got used to doing it that way. I did make a few fairly hard stops... danged cagers!.... but better to check.

I made the board wider for a single mattress instead of a bunk sized, but I dont' know if that's an option with yours...
One nice thiing about these old gals, dont' mind taking a hammer and saw to them!

Take care and drive safe...

Thanks
Mary
