No, we spent 12 days at RR with the new coach inside the shop and when we got it, we spent that time moving our stuff in. Our weight according to the title is 19,745 lbs before we moved our stuff over. If I get a chance on the way to Arizona, I will run it through a truck scale. No promises though.

We just passed through Abilene on the way to Van Horn tonight. Pretty strong winds today. Only getting 7.5 mpg thus far today. Got 8.6 Monday from OK to TX. Gonna be a long day!

The brake lines look fine to me.

Those mileage numbers are right about what we're getting. Always in the 8.1-8.8 range according to the EVIC.

Glad to hear the lines are okay.

472 miles traveled today. We arrived in our winter destination of Amado, AZ around 5:00 p.m. I was ecstatic to see that our mpg's today was 10.1. Not much wind and several long pretty flat stretches. I love, love the disc brakes on the coach! Never had them before, and now will never have another coach without them.

Hand calc my numbers are consistently .4 mpg less then EVIC. No wind and flat ground I am in the high 9's and winds high 7's. Sounds like we are all about the same.

Not that much different than my 2011 Ram with no DEF. I get 9.3 to 9.8 typically, with some excursions over 10.0 on long, level Interstate runs at 65 MPH and no wind.
