That's rather nice, I quite fancy that.
Is that a petrol engine? And where in Portugal - looks familiar

French service area (cannot remember name)
Campsite just outside of Nazare (Vale Paraiso Camping)
Campsite just outside of Figueira da Foz (Parque De Campismo da Gala)
The engine is a Ford Powerstroke 7.3 V8 turbocharged diesel with auto transmission no LPG, on the trip to Central Portugal of 2964 miles it averaged around 16 to the gallon (I think about 3.5 miles a litre) with carefull driving,not the most economical but with the aerodynamic's & weight of a small house not to bad,so fueling up more than once a day a must despite the twin tanks capacity of 140 litres.
