I would think that is down to the extra weight, the camper gear must weigh more than the seats, even though they are heavy.

Yeah, I was wondering how much the rear seat with headrests weight, to negate a 47-49kg Campal weight, if I got one. My guess would be about 15kg for the two. Maybe a touch more.

My display for km/litre isn't as snazzy as yours. It's just how many KM are left until empty, and a kind of bar showing average KM per Litre.
I do mine after each fill (maths wise with a calculator and the receipt) and I get about 7km per litre, about 20mpg

The usual average for mine is about 7.5 so pretty much the same as yours, and the sort of figure I have come to expect. Today was just a bit special.

Thank you for checking, I am glad I got it right. I think this might be a one off as I was driving very carefully and was in no rush. When I first saw it hit 8.5 it made me want to see just where I could get it to go. If I was doing a really long drive on clear roads, taking it easy, I wonder if I could have hit a magic 10 🤔 Has anyone ever been the there?

I can get 10 - 11 (ie 28 -30 mpg) mph on a nice steady run with no holdups or dramas.
3.5 converted camper (no heavier than an unconverted in my view).
I average 22 mpg.

It's good to hear what others can get with taking it steady, 11 is brilliant. :)
 
Today I swapped my rear Blitz suspension ( adjustable dampers, springs, cups, uprated donuts and adjusters ) back to my original Largus set up.

Also whilst I was at it I changed my rear pads, shoes and slider pins.

Then rain stopped play, so I will put the wheels back on tomorrow.🌧️🌧️

You stayed “ up” or gone back to a lowered bus ?
 
Today I collected a pair of RoadNutz HD adjustable rear drop links that I had delivered to my brother and purchased a pair of Pagid front discs from ECP. Stocking up whilst in UK as we return on Sunday and it's way cheaper to buy them here.
 
Not Elgrand related, but my MX-5 service today- I still go to the dealership, they gave me £52 off at pay up time, when I asked nicely :)
