Picked up our new 1996 U295 Coach

April 02, 2013, 10:38:04 am

Just thought I'd post a quick note. Picked up the coach Thursday, Phoenix AZ. Off to Joshua tree national park and 29 Palms  no issues all went well. Friday to vegas, hell of a car show [Viva las Vegas] .
Sunday, to Butte MT, Monday Butte to Edmonton. All up just over 2000 miles. Might have consumed a quart of oil, ran the hills fine and drove like a caddy [very big caddy ]. last fuel stop Pocatello Idaho then 925 miles top Edmonton Alberta. Best guess so far, we averaged abt 10 MPG at 70 + MPH [based on an imperial gallon]. Now to sort out the little bugs, rattles and some minot electrical.

Kevin, congratulations on your buy. Have you done the RIV importation paperwork yet? you will have to get headlites changed to daytime running and that should be it to import.

FWIW,
I think you have a great coach.  Have had mine for about 3 years.  It is a honey!  As you might note I have one too.  Charles
