Further update: Good to be back in NH.

Sad to say the driving conditions were no conducive to a proper mpg test. The road conditions were terrible with construction all over the place and the climbs through Pennsylvania were long and slow, to much stop and go to get good results. But the smoke at the exhaust under a load seems to have become less than before. Last fill up was showing another 5.4 mpg. one more top off before we land at our summer spot, hopefully that will show better results.

We did experience a flat tire on the trailer but only noticed it while at a rest area, completely shredded leaving only about 3 inches of side wall. Plus a stone from no where or a very hard headed bug put a dime size chip in the drivers side windshield at eye level!!
That's coach life.
Seafood tonight.
