Back from long trip out west

Been gone about 2 weeks driving my Dodge Scotty motor home with a cummins pulling a car trailer with a 33 ford in the trailer.Lots of wind on this trip. Fuel mileage was not good got 11 to 12.9 was the best. I did run 65 to 70 most of the time.There was snow in outh Dakota and Colorado in the high country.When we got to South Dakota we drove the 33 Ford on the Glidden tour which was about 500 miles total. The little Ford preform well never miss a beat.When I got home and disconnect the trailer what a releaf and what a drag the trailer. It seam to pull hard this year for some reason.Drove the Motor Home 4500 miles total. That a lot for me.We just got home today and a bit tired.Not time to change the oil and filter plus the fuel filter also.Here a picture of the little 33 that we drove on the tour.Glad to be home. I miss it when I am gone.Sure do love my home.
