I took our new 2011 Great West Van Sprinter Legend on a test run of 360 miles round trip to La Crosse, WI Thursday and back today. My first impression compared to our 2005 Sprinter Pleasure-Way is the ride is much smoother and quieter. At highway speeds it feels more auto like and you don't feel like you are pushing the limits at 70 mph on the freeway. In other words it is also like an auto where you don't perceive going as fast as you are going. Handling is very positive. The steering wheel is less van like and more auto like yet you still sit very upright and high. There is no diesel rattling sound on acceleration like the old Sprinter. In quieter you can actually listen to your radio without having to turn it up. The stock radio and speakers are probably better quality. I think the overall MPG is going to be in the 3-4 MPG less. With a new engine starting out at 140 miles total I averaged about 18 MPG vs. my old 22.5 MPG. If history repeats with break in it will probably push 20 MPG. All in all I am very happy with it. Just have to remember it is not a coupe and I am still pushing 4 tons of 22'-9" down the highway.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")

On your first outing did you also sleep in it? Or just take it for a nice ride?

There were quite a few other RV's at the designated parking area at the resort.

What Did You Do To Your Class B Today ?
Took it camping over the weekend. This week, probably replace the house battery and/or alternator. Probably just the battery. Maybe add another battery or two to the house system.

Took out the screens and curtains on the windows that open so I could get all the sand out. Got the bedding all cleaned (our's and the dog's) and the van vacuumed.
The wind was blowing sand everywhere, so even though I changed the oil and filter in the van and gen before we went I am going to do it again this weekend. And clean and reoil the air filter. (Might not need it but I will feel better if I do it.)

The oil coming out was still clean looking.
Since I don't put an excessive number of hours on it in a year's time, and since I change it once a year, I just use SuperTech (Walmart) HD30 weight oil.
