My Rig

[oldsoul]

Not sure if this is the appropriate place, but i wanted to show you guys a few pics of my rig. 1981 Ford chateau with the body built by travelaire. It got a duel fuel 460 ford engine with 74,000 original km. Had the transmission overhauled before i bought it. Its built like a tank, really sturdy rig and everything works well. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

Nice, i looked at one similar a few years back.

<br />Its the twin fuel tank caps for gasoline. Like a little pod.

<br /><br /><br />it runs on gasoline or propane, and can be switched from the drivers seat by pulling out a lever and flipping a switch. Since gas is $1.40 per litre here in Canada and propane is .68c per litre, i run it on the propane alot. Mileage isn,t great about 6-8 mpg, but i have a little scooter to get around when i don,t want to fire up the rig.

Oldsoul,<br />I don't know if you have any plans for Mexico trips but just about anywhere there is a Pemex gas station, somewhere not far will be a vehicle propane station...dunno the cost difference but it sure is popular there...<br />Bri

It looks very clean! Is that a 24'er? What kind of MPG do you get running gas? 8 to 10 MPG?

 

[oldsoul]

Its 25 feet long. I get 7-9 mpg on a good day on gasoline. About 5 on propane.
