Hi I'm back from Washington now and so here is some more specs for those thirsty for detail:
It is called a Class "C" RV, sleeps 6-8, is 29ft long and 8ft wide, 12-13ft height clearance. It is an Automatic, petrol V-10 engine with a 55gal fuel tank (we are averaging around 250 miles per tank). There is an excellent gas heating system and a very large fridge, the plumbing system is also quite excellent. On the downside the space seems huge but the layout is not great and the internal storage is mostly sacrificed for external storage which is cavernous. The sound system is abismal as are the rattles, and some minor leaks with rain. Our family business used to be manfacturing motorhomes and campervans in Australia, sadly nothing much has improved since 1989 and in many cases is nowhere near as good as what we used to build in Australia. Gripes aside it is a really terrific way to travel with a large family and I'm enjoying playing my role as (Robin Williams - R.V; Nigel Thornberry - The Wild Thornberrys).

It's a house on wheels. Awesome guys. I can't believe your driving this thing around and on the wrong side of the road to boot. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Michael you must have nerves of steel, or are you simply bouncing all the other traffic on the road, OFF THE ROAD. The RV looks amazing. Good for you. Have a ball. Cheers, Yvonne
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. When touring in our caravan in Oz I often wonder what the economy of a big unit like that is. Our best has been 33.9 mpg (not towing) and worst 13.9 towing. Thanks for all the blogs, Stay safe!
