  Denis:  We can calculate if you will get a ruler and go measure the diameter 
of YOUR rear tire.  Tire diameters vary by brand even for the same size.  So 
measure your tire.

    I didn't know that this could be calculated, but it will be fun to know.

    If Johnny drove his 1963 Sundial camper at 4000 RPM and has a 412 ring and 
pinion tranny with a straight axle kit (no RBGs) and his tires are P185/60 R15. 
How fast was Lillie, riding shotgun, going?

      Uh, he's running a straight axle.  No redux boxes.

          Hence the backing off. It's late and I'm not going to go out and 
check my tires. They are slightly smaller than stock, but not radically. I have 
a 412 ring and pinion tranny. So I don't know how fast I am going. I have a GPS 
that will tell me, but I lost a power cable and it won't work without it.

            Slow down Denis.  Don't know how your gearing is set up with your 
tires,  But 4,000 rpms should be about 80+.  That's too fast in a bus.

              My speedometer is not accurate, most aren't. I barely use it on 
the road. There were many times on this trip home that I looked down at the 
Speedo and it was all the way around and pushing on the "0" post. My reaction 
is to look at the tach and oil temp, and sure enough, it was at 220 (too hot) 
and over 4000 RPM. Tie to back off. And I could watch my oil temp go down.

                That the oil temp stays the same (low) regardless of how fast 
you drive?

                  The trailer went home with the other Arkansas folks. Murray 
made every mile 
                  in spooky good shape. Wore headphones all the way home. the 
bus didn't make 
                  any strange and worrifle noises. the oil temp went high when 
I pushed and 
                  went down as soon as I backed off.

                  What more can you ask?
