Back on the Road

After a very nice time in Ohio visiting friends and family I finally saw a window in the weather that was worthy of the trip south. I got the RV into road mode and set out from my brother’s house and stopped at my local propane dealer that is now following my adventure, Collett Propane, and hit I71 south.

With the new tire investment; didn’t want any more flats, the RV handled better and it was only a few miles before I felt like I was back into the adventure. I anxiously awaited the moment that there wasn’t snow on the ground, and unfortunately that took two states. After driving 6 hours I stopped at a Love’s truck stop and filled up with diesel. I’d been getting around 10 to 10.5 mpg and after 67gallons I averaged 9.62mpg this tank. I haven’t treated the RV with MotorSilk yet since I am still getting a base line for the fuel consumption.

I was getting tired so I pulled out my trusty KOA book and found a nice RV park just outside of the Georgia state line. It was 44 degrees here and I felt like putting my shorts on. I’ll save that until tomorrow when I get to Florida. One side note, as I hooked up the RV in its spot a guy walked around to the side I was on and said he had heard of MotorSilk but didn’t know it did all the things he was reading on the RV. He had a piece of paper in his hand it had the web site written on it. It’s great to be back on the road!
