    Tip for the oven, buy a square pizza stone and put it on the lower "rack" (the solid sheet of metal, not the main rack) it helps disperse the heat a little better and I noticed things cooked more evenly.

    For the fuel mileage check the following : As tires wear, rolling friction increases. It does with low pressure too, so check that. Clean the exhaust back pressure sensor and tube. Check fuel pressure is still in the 50-60ish range. Low fuel pressure means accelerating more to do the same work as before. Try some Seafoam, PS Diesel Kleen or Hot Shot Secret to clean the injectors. If you end up dropping the tank to check the fuel sending unit for accuracy, be sure and clean or replace the mixing chamber screens. . Hope you go to Florida next - warm weather and great scenery

    Put the rack in the middle of the oven otherwise it burns the bottom fast if it's right above it. We live in a fifth wheel right now. Also have a small pan upside right above where the fire is for another barrier to not burn food while baking. Another tip is get an oven temp monitor. Ones that hang off the rack for a accurate reading.

  • @Cldoyle1
    @Cldoyle1 11 месяцев назад +25

    Check your tire pressure and air filter. Works for me every time. Also might want to check the brakes. If one’s hanging up it’ll cause drag. Good luck.

  • @JA53705
    @JA53705 11 месяцев назад +8

    I think you have a prevailing wind that accounts for the mileage difference. A west to east wind is pretty common, and you rig is like a big sail, so you could have been getting a 1 mpg assist traveling east, and now have a 1 mpg headwind impact heading back. Might we worth confirming that before you spend too much time on the fuel filter. Sorry if you cover that later on in the video.

  • @robertagivens7873
    @robertagivens7873 11 месяцев назад +8

    Regarding your gas mileage, have you been checking your tire air pressure? That makes a huge difference, and the air in the tires expands and contracts with the temperature.

  • @murdiesel
    @murdiesel 11 месяцев назад

    You also are driving back in a head wind and that rig is an aero brick wall. Try the Stealth Module on your diesel, it is plug and play. Makes a world of difference. You tube stealth module.

I thought about it when you showed yours breaking, and thought I’d mention it to you. Im sorry about the trip. It’s hard to find campsites on east coast is an understatement. The amount, vs,. The demand is a problem. Im enjoying your channel.

    Next time you visit Poland, give me shout…breakfast, lunch or dinner is on me bro!
    BTW-I second the idea of getting a pizza stone to disperse the heat in your oven. Also, next time you’re in Walmart pick up a cheap oven thermometer as your oven dial, like most in an oven, isn’t 100% accurate.

    It seemed like you were on that trip for 2 weeks @ most. The high cost of fuel is one of the reasons that I don't feel the urge to travel these days. Another reason is at my age I don't have the patience for many of the idiots on the roadway. Glad that you were able to get away & blow the stink off. Have a great day & thanks for the videos.
