Very pleased with the 19RB. Of course we have found some things we want to add/improve, but they are all minor.

On May 4th we headed West to Cleveland and South.
20 - 30 MPH winds and I got an average of 7.5 MPG.
Rest of the trip I averaged low 11's to almost 12 in flat middle Tennessee.
I usually drive around 60 ~ 65 MPH. Although the same size I think my TT is lighter because I don't have a slideout.
Gear position "L" which for some unknown reason means Manual Mode is your friend.
When coming to a hill shift to "L" before you start to climb. This drops the transmission out of overdrive 5 and 6 and puts you in 4th gear.
Do you do this? I started doing his the middle of last season.
This stops the engine from lugging and puts it in the power band. It really helps on mileage. Use the "+" and "-" to even go into 3 if the hill is steep.
