We went camping last month, took 3 grand kids with us. They had a blast, lots to do there. We were all in our motor home. Might go again, different camp ground in a week or 2, unless we sell the motor home. We put signs in the windows last week because it looks like I will not be driving it to Alaska and that was why I got it 3 years ago. My wife decided she doesn't want to drive that far and take 8-10 weeks out of summer. I wanted to go and spend at least 3 weeks there. I have a cousin in the oil business who lives in Anchorage and he would let me park at his place and loan me a car to drive around. But mainly we calculated the costs and decided it was not a good fit for our budget. On level ground, good roads the 34'motor home with a 454 V8 gets just over 9 mpg. I guess I should have gotten one with a 9 liter diesel. I had an 84 diesel with a 9 in it back in the 90's that got 14.5 mpg on all trips. Unfortunately those don't meet current emissions stds and adding the required equipment to diesels bring the mpg way down. I think the industry is gaining MPG now days, but those motor homes are out of reach for my bank acct.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
