Tom, this summer my coach performed exactly as you describe and I agree with all of your points except I do not have a Darlene to clean my windshield. When climbing mountains, the cruise control does a much better job than I can. As to temperatures, on the mountains in southern Oregon and norther California, the transmission temperature reached 235 degrees going up and down a several long hills, using the Jake. Research suggest the maximum temperature is 250, so I am not so concerned. However, I wonder if my transmission cooling radiator needs to be cleaned since the transmission frequently goes to 220. I am thinking about setting my vmspc alarm to 230. Any comments?
I have bad knees, and I found that the air springs in the drivers seat keeps my knees working and much more comfortable that a regular seat. I need to do more calculating, but it appears that I averaged 7MPG over the summer pulling a heavy Honda Odyssey, and get 8MPG on a flat highway. I drove between 62 and 65 MPH most of the time. Love this coach.
