The lab,Willy, is part lab, pit and greyhound. Got him as a 4 lb pup for my 60th birthday. He is now 5 and weighs 77 lbs. The previous owner,10 years,said he got 19 mpg pulling a golf cart in a v front enclosed trailer from Illinois to Fl. I saw the cart and traiter at his house. Nobdy could lie like that with a straight face!I had a VW combi bus that i ran all over Canada with in 1966 67 68 ,pulling a 14 ft. aluminum boat. I never really missed cruising at 75 mph so I'll probably be happy with my toy.I have A/C but was advised fuel economy will suffer. It has aftermarket cruise,audiovox,but the PO and I can't get it to work. I have the installation insructions but i think they were translated from Jappanese to Russian and then to English (dial 2 for Espanol). I'll keep plugging and maybe I'll get it. Thanks for the reply. Rocky

Just bought an 85 Toyaota with a Sun-Land Express Rv body.Need some tips on handling the Rocky Mountains. The little 22re will do 75mph after a long wind up on the inter-state in Fl. but will it handle the real mouintains of the NW? I've installed new belts and a K&N air filter and will have the engine professionally tuned before departing but any practical advice, or Links, on long range touring would be greatly apprciated. It has a 4 speed stick and does have the 6 lug wheels and axels front and rear. The tires are almost new and the air pressure is 50 LBS as suggested on the tires. The engine has 35,000 miles since a major rebuild and runs strong. It has A/C and I am installing after market cruise control. Any suggestions on cruising speed or warnings of what to expect from this RV? This board is a great find for me and I am glad to be aboard. I am a retired machinist from Mack Trucks and a retired Charter Boat captain. I rebuild motorcycles as a profitable hobby and sell them locally and on Ebay. Thanks in advance for any advice. Rocky
