How do you figure engine hours to miles?
We've always gone by ~42xhours for miles (average 42mph). I looked at
pictures of a PT recently, hours indicated around 21mph, supposed to be one-owner and documented, so who knows. Any time the key is on the hours build. On some coaches, the ACC position of the key is closer to 12:00 than off, I've met at least one coach owner who regularly leaves the key in the ignition, and accidentally in the ACC position. Hours don't always mean miles but they should. Look for other documentation and indicators of miles. If nothing else, look at pedals, carpet (if original) around the pedals, wear on the steering wheel etc. - Jeff Miller in Holland, MI --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Andy Coleman" > > Gentlemen, > > A very interesting discussion on engine miles vs. hours. > > I'm looking at an 83 FC-35 with 94,000 miles and 2,669 engine miles. > By dividing the two, I come up with 35.2 MPH during its lifetime. > > Is that a number that I should be concerned with?

How do you figure engine hours to miles?
For what its worth.Caterpillar always used 40 MPH as the baseline for warranty
and to do the PM's,Caterpillar likes to use fuel consumed for PM's and overhauls, but most folks don't or can't track fuel usage. I would be comfortable using 40-42 miles per hour. We were using the 40 MPH baseline when the speed limit was 55 MPH . RE BRAKE 1983 FC-35 SB "SAGECOACH".

What are the Federal Laws relative to rolling back the miles on RVs and what
age vehicles do they apply?

How do you figure engine hours to miles?
On my 1993 PT40 I have 75,650 miles with 1672 hours. I know that I
idle mine a little more than average to facilitate cooling the engine in south Florida. But still a respectable 45.24 MPH.
