Very surprised with your fuel figures 🤔 79 v ram not sure
@daveniksadventures225520 сағат бұрын
I was getting 27-100km put of the 79 towing the same weight van but if I had a head wind it was worst. The Y62 was about the same but really bad if I had a head wind some times as high as 33-100km the ram so far is 17-100km normal towing and strong head wind it's got to 21-100km But hey they are my figures some people might say different. But those are honest figures taking actual km and litres used not going by the computer in the dash. Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩

Hi guys, I'm a retired mechanic, great videos, just so natural. good to see you have the perfect rig for your travels, well done! Even though it's cost you an arm and a leg. We are not here for a long time, only a short time. My wife and I only go on holidays for about 3 times a year for about 2 or 3 weeks at a time and stay in caravan parks. We have baby sitting duties for our grand kids. We would like more time away, well maybe one day. Keep up your great travels.
