    Oh. Yeah. That's definitely noticeable hahahaha. It's absolutely ridiculous actually. Driving with a headwind? Forget about it. I was getting 8mpg on the highway for a few miles with a headwind. That's definitely a downside. I'm planning on driving the Alcan down to the lower 48 soon and I hope it's not too big a deal...

    Jesus Christ I can imagine. Especially since y'all are in Alaska, the wind isn't too bad in south Texas. It was hard enough as it is going down the highway.

    Lol. I think my ultra gauge showed 11.5 on my way home today. But that's basically warming up for a few min in the morning and driving 10 minutes to work everyday. And same on the way home. Little to no highway. Still not good haha.

    Warming up is probably taking a few off of that then, so on a good day you might see 15...? I'd say that's reasonable with your RTT.

    Carry on :cool:

    That's average for the last two tanks. I normally don't reset it every tank. Either way, I'll be interested in seeing how taking the tent off changes things. Waiting for some spare shrink wrap to fall into my hands at work so I can put it away for the winter.

    Well I opened up the RTT a few days ago to see if it's still getting wet since I tried a quick fix...it was bone dry inside even though it was in some very heavy rain since I did it. So I Let the tent air out a bit and today I took it off and put it in storage for the winter. I'm happy to be not so top heavy in the winter. :burnrubber:

    No it's not broken. I've been having an issue with the mattress being wet when I open it up. Water was getting in from where the zipper starts. I shoved a sheet of rubber between the cover and the tent and it seemed to fix the problem.

    No kidding lol. Just went for a drive up to flat top...holy crap I haven't noticed it until now, but my tires kick up so much sand/gravel since I got these new wheels. They stick out just enough past the flares that it's very noticeable. My front tires are kicking them forward and the rocks get blown back into my windshield. Lol. It'll only get worse soon :/
