Hi all,
I have just returned from a ten week trip round Spain and Portugal in my new Sunvoyager 8295.
Had a great trip and very pleased with the coach despite one or two minor problems.

The only thing I was surprised about was the fuel consumption at 6.3 MPG I expected to get nearer 8 or 9. I drive trying to keep the revs at around 2000 rpm or less. The vehicle has now done 7500 miles and I ran without using air con.
Does that figure sound right or doyou think it is heavy.
Excuse my ignorance on this but here in the UK I am much more used to desiels than petrol engines in large vehicles.
By the way its the Chevy 8.1 engine

regards

Dave
