RV Adventures

We are finding that driving a 34' Bus with a car behind it presents some challenges compared to auto touring.  The unit does a good job but you do have to be cognisant of some major issues. First of all, something this large loves fuel, second just because you can get in somewhere doesn't necessarily mean you can easily get out, third dim wits on on ramps have no idea how dangerous a monster you are.  Today we got our first minor taste of mountain driving; only short grades of 4% but it gives you the basics for 7% long grades. We keep it between 55 and 65 for the most part and up can be almost as interesting as down hill. The thrill yesterday was loosing a hub cover at 60mph.  This cover is about like a 3 gallon pail and when it left the rig I at first thought it was a bucket.  A road side rest several miles later confirmed it wasn't.  We back tracked in the G6 and were lucky enough to find it and it's attachment screw assembly within 50' of each other.  Turns out that the screw loosened as the outside temperatures approached 100F.  The other side was loose also.
