Wow, that's pretty damn good for a V-10, those things are usually pretty thirsty!

True..in 2008 I bought a brand new class C that was a 25 footer...same engine, but more hp & torque, but best I could ever squeeze out of that was 7.7 mpg at 65 mph!! So, expecting the same or worse, I was pleasantly surprised at the milage with this one!!! (I re-figured this about 6 times to see if I was making any mistake)..LOL!!

I get that with my diesel with the boat on the back, right around 13, at 70-75 mph.

Hi Pat! The wife and I bought each other rings a while ago, and picked them up sat., they look real nice. Sunday, we were going to go do anything, but my son from out of town visited us for most of the day..then it rained for the rest well into the early am (today). How was yours?

Pretty good. Learned how to MIG weld saturday. My wife bought me a welder for Christmas a year and a half ago, and a buddy came over and taught me how to use it. It's pretty cool! Got some more work done on the 67 on Sunday.

I've wanted to learn to weld for 25 years or so. Now I'll be able to get the cab corners and front mounts done. I'm sure my brothers will supply me with plenty of stuff to fix for them also!
