Today I drove a 2011 Win Journey 40U with Cummins 380 DP (DEF system) on Maxum Freightliner chassis - Allison 6 speed 3000 ...... Salesperson says if I travel at 55 and 62 on freeways, I should expect to average 7mph ... seems very low..
Tomorrow I'm driving a 2008 Allegeo Bus 43ft with Cummins 425 HP ( Pre emissons stuff) I believe on Spartan chassis with tag axle and Allison 6 speed 3000 - different dealer location - salesperson tells me at 55 and 62 on freeways that I should expect 10- 12 mpg...really ?....
Am I missing something ? Asking to talk with previous local owners...
Last week I drove a 2011 Phaeton with the Cummins 380 / DEF / powerglide chassis / Allison 6 speed 3500 and they "Thought" I'd be 9-10 mpg.......
For those of you with one of these, midwest slopes and rolling hills, towing 4500# Jeep - what might be reality ?
I'm looking to decide to trade soon .. but FMCA show is coming up second week of August near here.... Do the exhibitors do all that much more dealing / price reductions at these shows/conventions ?
