I know, was kicking myself for not bringing it along to monitor temps, this being its first outing, and the trip was really hard on tow vehicles...Quote:

Still averaged 13.2/100 (dash) and that equates to 14.7 or thereabouts in the real world. Still did it in 5.25hrs including 1 coffee stop and 3 'rest' stops. (It sure is convenient carrying your own ensuite for those of us with a dodgy bladder..😂)
Transmission behaved impeccably, even after a few big hills at stupid speeds and RPM, and lots of lugging at 100kmh in 7th gear into the wind...
Just loving this. Best tow vehicles these l322.
Cant wait.. You sold me on this some time ago JC,,,

Going to see how my 'lowly' stock 3.6 TDV8 does in early Jan towing the camper to Frying Pan through the Snowys. Only 640Nm. Might not make it? [emoji14]
[emoji1] I don’t notice the weight of the TVan. But it’s light in comparison.Quote:

The roofrack will have a much bigger effect methinks...
