Based on what you posted, you set the cruise on 84 mph.

I believe the tires are only rated for a top speed of 75. A blowout on the steer axle at that speed could be your last blowout. These coaches are very heavy on the front axle which puts the front tires right at their maximum weight carrying capacity and add to that over speed and during our Texas summer add extreme temperatures...

Fuel mileage

Mileage?
I only see smileage!
My MPG is about 7 with my SOB MH.
The average for my MH and toad combined is about 16. Annually. Yep, chump change!
THAT is a measurement that matters!
Eh?
What's yours?

Someone mentioned speeding up a bit, which I think absolutely applies on these Entegras.

Our Phaeton was in a happy place efficiency wise between 60-65 MPH. Our Entegra does pretty good at 65 and almost the same at 75 MPH, with only a small penalty (.2 MPG IIRC)

Matt, Just called local Cummins/Bridgeway and they cannot tell the upgrades from just the S/N but did tell me there have been 28 upgrades. Cost is $139 which is one hour labor and can be done while I wait. I'll have it done in March as we are not going anywhere before May.

Wanted to update as too often we never hear what happens after helping someone. Thanks for the info.
