Re: 1.9petrol MPG
Not bad going Pionte, what was your average speed? Also makes me wonder whether a Hi-Top would give slightly less MPG than a Pop-Top due to the aerodynamics - any thoughts on this?!

Re: 1.9petrol MPG
I think weight probably has more influence than aerodynamics (imho of course 
)
Our TinTop, especially when we had all the camper interior out, felt a heck of a lot more sprightly than our Hi-Top, which is a heavily built LeisureDrive
(same DG motors, in similar condition by the way) We also keep far too much junk in the Hi-Top "because we can" It all adds up, fast !

Good point John - i had all the old interior taken out and replaced with a lighter-weight marine ply and have vinyl down as well which will probably knock a little bit of weight off.
