Hi Andy, glad you have joined us. Our mk1 camper steering is the same. So your not alone, think they are all like this. As to the rest can't help I'm afraid.

Welcome, Andy. Yup, Mk2 steering can be a bit vague, try adjusting the steering box, but it may just make the steering heavy and vague!! All part of the Mk2 experience. As to the MPG, it all depends on what you have on board. We run a Mk2 LWB commercially and loaded with a not too heavy right foot (60-70 on the motorway) can get around 220 miles out of a full tank. So yours does sound a bit low, what carb have you got?
