Fuel Milage
My speed is usually about 65 - 68 mph where allowed. Sometimes if highway conditions are good I'll boost it to 75 where allowed.

LP tank upsize
Can anyone offer information on upsizing the LP tank in a 5291 (2008 BT Cruiser 30 foot)?
I have a LP generator and 10 gallons isn't enough LP for me.
