FINALLY !, leaving the state on a trip :thumbsup: got a 'ready-date' on my travel trailer, from the factory ... scheduled to be finished mid-October ... going to IL first, spread my Mom's ashes, and do the family/friends visits for a couple weeks ... then, will drive down to Texas (I like Texans :)), get my trailer, and drag it back to northern CA ... taking mostly 2-lane scenic routes, so I'll post some pics ... worried about my gas expenses ... I figured about $1250 gas for the whole trip, but the new van isn't getting even close to the mileage I expected, so its scary :wtf: ... but, in all fairness, I haven't really had it on a highway yet, and it's still new (tight) ... hopefully will improve as I go ...
NOTE: I am VERY disappointed :(, I won't be able to visit a few of you friends, as originally hoped for ... but, gasoline is eating me alive, a lot more than expected ... us elderly welfare folks gotta conserve ... I figure I will be able to pay off the gas credit cards by Spring, then go out on the next roadtrip, and piss it away all over again :D
