We took our first over-nighter in the RV.
We got 15 mpg, about what I expected without pulling a bike and trailer.
We are cramped for place. 4 sleeping overnight would be unbearable. Had 2 weird noises keeping me awake. 1st was a pinging coming from the 12v converter/charger. It overheats and a circuit breaker clicks ON-OFF loudly when there are no other noises. 2nd the refrigerator vibrates. The compressor makes the coils sing irritatingly. Found if a fan is blown over the converter it is quiet. But we had none with us, we have 2 now! Suck a wood block in the coils. Much quieter now.
Then we made a list of about 30 more things to buy and fix. Like convenience items, rattles, added and fixed switches, stuff to eliminate and add. Took out 15#'s so far, added 30#, oh well.
Then there was the rain ALL DAY. Got wet inside too. Plugging more holes. Got floor mat instead of rugs.
Both camp grounds were very dark. Want outside light. Too far to the bathrooms so the toilet got used. Bed sheets wrong, bought better ones.
Did not have enough room for 4 to sit on a ride. Found I could get passenger seat to swivel. Merry Miler had eliminated this great option.
Next trip will be better, engine/tranny ran good. Need to watch weather more, got weather radio in now!
More adventures to come....
