Hi Ju, welcome to Fun, and well done on finding your way to this site, on the very evening that Jim & Karl are setting up a new server for the site.

You and Fun can set off on a new adventure together, ask any questions you want lots of information and help and most of all you are never alone with funsters around. :welcomefunster:

Could just find the one entry on Google for a three axle. WOW! Funsters could arrange a rally inside that!

& thats the baby right there! Different colours but same bus! 7.4 litre Chevy V8 petrol, but converted to LPG. £120 to fill her up, for about 400 miles of cruising - not too bad I dont think? PLUS, the wife doesnt dare threaten to kick me out of home any more!......::bigsmile:

if my calcs are correct, and LPG at ~ 80p. that suggests around 12mpg ?

.. is this in practice, or theory ?

I ran a 36ft Georgieboy pusher diesel for five years which averaged out at 12mpg

anyway.. good luck and safe travels ,you may find my map of RV suitable aires and sites useful ..

Just in case he can't find it I'll print it here in full......

Go for The Big One, join us all in Weymouth. Hand picked by old-mo as being on bedrock and able to withstand the onslaught of RVs.

Seriously, it going to be A Good One.

Must go now, need to fill up our gaslow tank, I hear that LPG is going to be scarce in the NW any time now.

Hello there, thats some beast you've got yourself bet you can't wait to get out and about in it. by the way don't suppose you know of any good cheap campsites in the area, got family in Burnley and wouldn't mind a trip up there sometime, when we do get up there we normaly use either The Woodman or The Butterfly which is near enough opposite my cousins house.
