We have a 2017 Freedom Elite 26HE on a Ford E-450 chassis. Recently returned from a 4000 mile 10 state tour of western states. It was a marvelous trip and the coach was nearly perfect. For the trip we averaged 8.12 mph with careful record keeping. I could wish it was better but I'm ok with it. It was still a new engine at the outset (fewer than 1000 miles), we drove pretty fast (averaged about 70, I think, sometimes more, occasionally less) because the speed limit is 80 in many of the states we were in. Also there were some impressive western winds including wind advisories in New Mexico of 50 mph gusts and we crossed the Rocky Mountains a couple of times. I'm confident we'll see 9 or even 10 on some future occasions. The machine seems to have a sweet spot at about 63 or 64 mph and I'll try to stay in it on roads where the limit isn't 80! Good travels.
