Just got back from a 2500 mile trek around Europe in the "Van" it has been a brilliant couple of weeks apart from the Fuel bills lol, The Tranny base is only doing 20 mpg which is a bit harsh lol, i'm now looking to get it remapped asap, but don't know of anywhere in the NE. Any one got any ideas ?
I was trolling around Europe in our Rollerteam 700 about the same time as you were. I managed slightly better consumption by keeping speed down a bit. Around 23 on standard diesel over 3000 miles. Did you ever remap? My economy has improved further recently, by ditching the kids (now grown) and rolling down suitable hills. Around 25mpg is typical. It would be nice to be able to achieve a bit better economy still. There's stacks of power in the 140bhp engine.
We traded our Rollerteam 700 in, in March for a Bessacarr E495 with the 2.3 Fiat lump which is really under powered compared to the Tranny 2.4 Lump, I just wish some of the British Manufacturers would build on Tranny Chassis as i believe it better all round as a base apart from the gap in the front seats ;o)
Thanks for your quick reply. In most ways I've been very happy with our Rollerteam. Agreed, front seats gap is snug, but I am smallish, so no real problem. The engine has always pulled like a train and I have to admit I have, once or twice delighted in leaving other MHs far behind on long hills, but any possible saving at the pump would be good.
I plan a long trip in the Autumn, so I'm looking at all options just now. best solution I have found to date....drive slower.
We have Rollerteam 600G , started with around 20-22 mpg, then remapped and up to 25. Just been away for 2 weeks down Atlantic coast in France and managed 27mpg, so he was very chuffed.
Others on here always said it would take time to build up and it certainly seems to be
We do between 55/60 mph and use cruise control 99% of the time.
Love our Rollerteam which will be 5 years old now and hardly a problem inside or out since day 1, not bad for a so called budget van!

Woman here but I am sure he took it in and had something like that done, it made a good difference and he was glad he did it. Would ask him but have learnt early in life not to wake a sleeping man!!
Will check when I can and let you know what it was we had done.
