Second reason is because we spent some time talking to some folks we met at Kramer Junction.\u00a0 When we were pulling into the Pilot gas station at the intersection of highways 58 and 395 we saw this strange looking motorhome.\u00a0 Carol was busy taking this picture and the driver was waving at us.\u00a0 He turned into the gas station so he could take photos of his coach and ours together.\u00a0 This thing is pretty small – about the height of an SUV, 21 feet long.\u00a0 The top tilts up when parked to give you head room.\u00a0 The killer is that it gets 28 mpg!!\u00a0 Turns out that the BMW turbo diesel pusher is pretty underpowered and he seemed to be having a hard time getting over Tehachapi pass after we parted company.<\/p>\n
