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.

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.

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,.

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. As always, stay safe out there….

I doubt there would be any one of your followers that at some stage have gone on an adventure either at the wrong time or a little under planned and then had a disappointing outcome, it happens and while it's cost a few bucks in gas, you have added some vids to your channel and shown us some new ground. As a result of the "recci" you can now better plan to be there for the autumn colors and availability of camp sites when your time and/or budget allows. Looking forward to the next one!

D'Corazon downtown is decentish though. -Golden is awesome if you want a real tourist town. -Cherry Creek State Park and Chatfield State Park both have campgrounds. Catfield is better and is close to the Waterton Canyon at the start of the Colorado Trail and Roxbourogh Park, so It'd be my vote. Stay safe and happy travels!
