Some Less Practiced Tips On Saving Fuel While RVing

There are many ways that we can reduce fuel and related costs while enjoying travelling in our RV’s.  Of course, we all know that reducing speed, assuring we have the correct tire pressure, reducing idling time, and accelerating at a reasonable rate all help to contribute to better fuel mileage.  There are other, less practiced means to further reduce these costs.  So, let’s take a look at some of them. Weather Considerations – Winds of 15 MPH or more can have a substantial affect on increasing or reducing your vehicle’s moving resistance.  So much so, that on some larger vehicles a 25% or more difference can be experienced between running against a headwind, or running with one.  Driving an “A” class coach that, say, averages 8 miles per gallon, typically drops about 1 mile a gallon if operating in a 15 MPH plus headwind.  That would consume slightly more than 57 gallons for a 400 mile day run, compared to a still air consumption of 50 gallons.  Higher winds of 25 to 35+ MPH can be devastating and may result in the burning of mid 60’s for the same run.  Limiting the distance, or if possible cancelling that day’s run on windy days, can help save on your overall fuel bill.  The reverse holds true if you are going to be travelling in the general direction of the wind.  Some of the best miles per gallon have been recorded with a tailwind.  These days should be used to travel a little further if your journey is a long haul,... Read more

Gotta Love This Boy

By Lynn Difley Just when you think it is getting all too bleak; another dealership closing, another friend undergoing foreclosure, still one more good program terminated for lack of funding, a ray of hope surfaces to remind us that we will survive this and it will all improve with time. I found just such a ray of hope I want to share. It is the project of Zach Bonner, an 11-year-old boy who has decided he wants to draw attention to the plight of homeless children. Zach has already walked from Tampa to Tallahassee, and from Tallahassee to Atlanta to draw attention to the fact that 13 children per day die due to homelessness. His goal on this trip is to go all the way from Atlanta to Washington DC. The trip is a journey of 665 miles. He plans to walk 11 miles a day for a total of over 600 miles, and figures it will take him two months. His mother will drive an RV, donated by Lazy Daze. He is asking kids to send letters, which he will hand deliver to President Obama, documenting the concern of other kids for the plight of the children who are suffering through no fault of their own. What a great project and kudos to Lazy Daze for donating their RV as his support vehicle. He is asking for letters to take to the president, and donations for the homeless project for kids. He invites everyone to join him along the way. You can go to his website and track his progress. If you are traveling anywhere along his path, make it a point to look for him. If you stay in a campground along his... Read more
