Welcome Col & Shelly. Sounds like a great setup. How do you find the Chev for fuel economy?

Hi tess & craig the chev is very good on fuel considering the size ,the van weighs 3 ton cruising on 100 KMh she sits on 1500 revs and uses 15 litres per 100 km , we had a nissan patrol ti 4.8 petrol and it used 24 litres per 100 km pulling the same van.
without the van, the chev sitting on 100kmh on highway uses 10 ltrs per 100 km
its a 6.6 lt turbo deisel ,6 speed manuel - auto matic allison gearbox will post photo of setup when i work out how, im not that good with cmputers

Hi Col55,
Welcome to the forum,
That's one I'd like to do in the near future, would love to hear more of the trip, and a few pics.
