Break In drive

Originally I had hoped to have the coach home about a month before our departure, but that didn't happen.   Reason being I wanted to break in the motor and shake out any kinks that may have come up.

To recap:
new engine, new fuel injection system, new fuel lines, new fuel pump, new sewer tank.

As it worked out we got it back with 7 days to spare.  Also had to do other some other things like install a new fridge, new spare, and other Journey preparations.

By the time we left, I had only put about 300 miles on the coach, so the 600+ mile drive to Atlanta would take us to the 1000 mile oil change.

See the previous post for the adventure of the fridge.. .

We left on Saturday around 1 and oue first target was north of Gainesville at O'Leno state park.  We were averaging 50 mph with stops.  I was humming along at 2500 rpm when I saw another GMC passing me!  He was flying down the road going 80+.   He waves and soon disappeared....About 20 miles later we hit our exit and there he was in a gas station!   We talked for a few min as they had just bought it that afternoon!





We only had a few minutes to make the state park so off we went.  We got in with 5 min to spare.  Day one accomplished with no drama!
