After 130 miles under my belt I am already gaining respect for the way
the bird drives. This is my first experience driving an RV but I
couldn't help but notice the lack of being moved around by semi's or
gusty winds. Nice, easy drive once my nerves settled down. I
realized my jaw was tired from being clenched for the first 45 minutes
behind the wheel. Overall the steering was pretty good (minor
wandering at center) although I remember reading in other posts about
the benefits of koni shocks. Any opinions about koni's? What can I
expect to spend for shocks and installation. My bus has Safety-T-Plus
installed. Any experience with this system?
Some questions. What speed do most people cruise at with an FC? I
cruised at 60 mph at 2250 rpm on the interstate. The cruise control
does not work. Is it worth fixing or do most people manually maintain
speed anyway. The transmission temp seemed low (around 100-120
degrees if I remember right). Is this normal?
