First cross country trip in Isata 3
We just finished our first long trip in our 2018 Isata 3 . I thought I would share some thoughts about its performance.
Our journey began in Albrightsville, Pa and ended up in Apache Junction, Az.
It took us 7 days.
We towed our 2011 Jeep wrangler 2 dr soft top. We have a Roadmaster sterling tow bar and the RVI 3 brake. The Isata did very well towing the jeep. We had some steep mountain grades where our speed was 50 mph but other than that the rig pulled well. Our average mileage was 12.5-13.5 mpg.
The winds in New mexico were strong and caused the house door to whistle like crazy. I intend to change out the door weather strip to maybe alleviate that problem. Crosswinds really pushed us around and large trucks passing us required attention as we were buffeted side to side. We had issues with the drawers opening and slamming **** at times and I intend to explore a magnet solution for that.
The heat caused the cable for our cell booster to come loose as the stick on zip tie anchors came loose. All appliances performed well and the utilities did too.
We had a generally great experience and found no big issues.
I plan to add Sumo helper springs for our next big trip.
Over all the experience was great and we are ready for the next trip.
