North from Fortuna CA to Newport OR on US101. Then to Portland for 3 nights via hwy 20 to Corvallis and north on I-5. Drove around doing errands in Portland. Return via I-5 to Grants Pass and on to Crescent City via 299 then Fortuna.
1060 miles. An honest 16 mpg for the trip. Our best ever.

Rear axel wt 3800#
Total 5700 on scales full of fuel, propane, freshwater tank full, waste tanks empty, 2 persons and a dog.
Modern Hippies in VWs waved to us. In Portland near my Dad's house, locals sneered - musta been the CA plates. I get it. Sunshine envy. Maybe my driving???
We waved to a fellow Toyota MH in Cave Junction. Later he passed us on an uphill while towing a motorcycle. Winnebago late 80's???
We had a great time. MH ran great. Burning only one tank per day between overnights suits us.
4cyl 4 speed is well suited to Oregon. We drove I-5 at 62-65 mph.
Camped at Gold Beach one night, then Seal Rock.
Full hookups are around $40 these days.
