futar Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Just got back from prospecting for petrified wood at Hampton Butte in Central Oregon. I used 13.47 gallons for over 200 miles up hill from the Oregon coast. The others in the group used 26 gallons for a regular class C and 21 gallons for a diesel pulling a fifth wheel trailer. Coming back downhill was about 20mpg. I can't say enough for having a roof antenna for the cell phone. Having a CB radio is still a help. We were camping on a 1,700 acre ranch in the middle of nowhere. Coyotes, Ground Squirrels, Antelope, Deer, Elk, and cattle with cowboys on horses. I'm always amazed at the sky in the upper desert at night. It's like you're floating in space. The air up there was incredible although the sage brush was a little strong. The evaporative roof air conditioner was a help during the day when it gets hot. I hated getting back to the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
