Hi

We have rented this RV for 1 week to see if we would like it, and we did but I have a few questions or concerns that I would like to address. This was my first experience so many questions.


We drove 1245 Mi. in all kinds of condition and we averaged 9.6 MPG US. This mileage was done in the province of Quebec, Canada Eastern section by the Atlantic ocean.

1) Transmission = not towing anything, we started the trip putting it tow/haul, going down a hill like Randy mentioned it does the job, but the engine rpm could go up to 3500 even after the hill, with a high rpm does it affect the fuel economy.
Then we put it back to Off, and the RPM was quite lower, just put it On when sharp hills.
In Ford's manual they say that for fuel economy it is better to have it Off when not towing or having a heavy load.
In my mind high rpm = fuel
Pls let me know what are your impression on this.
issue.
2) Windshield = on this RV there was a major crack on the right side, my concern if I purchase one what will be the warranty on this or cost if no warranty.

3) Water pump = do you need to put it at off when you are connected to the water service, or put at off when not using.
Is there a safety on the pump that turns it off if the fresh water tank would go empty.
Same with hot water tank.

4) City water = on the entry should we put a 40psi regulator or is there one already installed.

5) Holding tanks = I emptied the black and indicator was at 1/3, is there a trick to resolve this reading error or faulty sensor. What goes exactly in the Grey, is it only the kitchen sink ???

The dealer told me that when I hook up to the sewing system, to leave the grey trap open and leave the black close. Open the black trap only when necessary or prior to unhooking, any comments on this ??

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Michel
