Hey all, Just returned from 4 days in SuperVan checking out the sights in VT and NH. Some Specs for the Geek in you: Miles: 420 Average Speed: 35.0 MPH Max Speed: 74.6 (oops) Mileage: averaged 15 MPG
Only issue was a clogged fuel filter the took out the fuel pump (my fault). I installed the spare pump and filter and off we went, no sweat. In VT we visited Queechee and the Floating Bridge in Brookfield (very cool, a bridge w/ no piers). In NH we ran up Rt 10 to Bath, then over Rt. 112 to Conway and down Rt. 16 to home. Over all a great trip, lots of fun and a bit of adventure. I do wish the van was faster, especially up the mountains (hit 1st gear a few times - eek!), but that is all a part of the je ne sais quoi, no? (SP) ...JMM
