New member from Alberta, Canada
Hi everyone,
Introducing myself as a new member to the forum. Just bought a 2008 Keystone Passport 290BH a week ago (upgraded from an '86 Chev Empress motorhome our family of 6 have outgrown).
Camped this past weekend in Dinosaur Provincial Park Campground, which was a great experience (definitely a must to check out for anyone visiting Southern Alberta ...badlands landscape, fossil finding, great trails, natural playground and non-stop climbing for the kids).
Have to say I love how much more storage I have compared to what I did before (no longer need to store camping chairs and other gear in the motorhome, thanks to the ample trailer storage, and full passthrough storage in the front). Not to mention how much more affordable it is to go places, as the Empress was somewhat of a beast gas mileage wise, and thanks to the Passport only weighing about 5,000 lbs dry.
Is getting about 27 litres per 100km (around 8.7 mpg) seem pretty average mileage to get ...at least for relatively flat trips? I'm towing with a 5.7L V8 Toyota Sequoia. I'm sure as soon as I get into some of the mountain passes it'll change quite a bit.
The quad bunk model will be perfect for my family, as we now have extra room for friends/family to stay on occasion.
Anyway, this seems like a great and helpful forum. Look forward to being a part of it.
Jason
