We are back from our trip. We traveled through 16 states in the Midwest and west and put just over 6K miles on the coach. For the most part it was a good trip.
If a Freightliner dealer hadn't screwed us so bad on the overheating issue while in the mountains it would have been a great trip. They kept the coach for 11 days, were not honest with us and did not fix the problem. Stay away from Velocity truck center shops. A Volvo shop (Vangard) near Flagstaff, AZ did identify the problem in less that two hours and got it fixed in three days + they had to correct some of Velocity's work which caused some damage.
