Quick overview of our travel rig.
1998 Leisure Travel Wide Body Class B. Dodge 5.9L V8 Magnum power plant. 157k miles. Purchased at 95k miles and brought it back up to road-worthy standards.
Just recently completed front suspension work, fixed Air-Ride system (rear end lift inflate/deflate), complete tune-up, oil change, and transmission fluid drain and refill. Second transmission service since ownership. First one at 111K miles. Good shifting, no issues.
Usually travel in van at a comfy speed of about 58-59mph. Ideally I like to keep engine load under 30% and RPMs when cruising about 1800+-. Temps ideally at 195F or lower. No hurry.
Have seen as high as 15.7MPG all highway, but I usually figure 14mpg just to be on the safe side. 420 miles register on the odometer, I’m filling up.
