diesel

It was a weird problem that had me scratching my head so thought I would pass along…. On a recent trip noted a perceived 50% increase in diesel fuel consumption. This was noted by fuel guage approaching empty more quickly than normal. Investigation revealed saddle tanks not balancing as fuel...

We just upgraded to a bigger camper, a 2024 Cherokee 26DBHL. We're towing with a 2018 F150 XLT 4x4 2.7 liter with tow package. It did okay with our last camper, a Cherokee 22MKSE. However, this one just doesn't tow well, especially up and down steep inclines. Can I do it? Sure. Do I want to? No...

Looking at the Sunseeker 3010 (class C) and wondering if diesel is a better option than gas. I am indifferent but am looking for which is most efficient as we plan long distance (4-6 weeks) trips. would like advice and/or experience from season owners.

Looking at purchasing a 2024 Isata 5 30FW and want to know if I should be concerned about the Cummins engine 6.7 recall for exhaust “cheating” as accused by the EPA: will any required fix lower the power of the engine, Will Dynamax continue to produce the Isata 5 on the RAM, will that huge fine...

When towing I absolutely hate stopping for fuel so often that I push it between stops, now I carry two 5 gallon cans when we go camping just in case the "E" really means empty. Looking back through the threads from years past I'd like to resurrect (sorry) the old question of Gas vs Diesel mpg...

I am considering a TDS/OpenRoads fuel card. Just watched their youtube video explaining how it works. They say that you must use the trucker pumps and that your vehicle MUST be able to accept a high flow nozzle. How is the high flow nozzle different and how can I tell if my 2007 GMC will...

Hoping someone in the know can tell me if what I was told by a "salesman" is true. He told me that the 2023 Isata 3 they have in stock is one of the very last with a diesel generator in the whole country, and that Dynamax is eliminating it as an option moving forward. I can neither confirm nor...

First time RV owner this past year. My question involves our 2022 diesel (V-6) Mercedes Benz East to West Entrada. We live in Arkansas and I have no reason to believe the diesel around here is a "winter blend" (nothing is posted on the pumps). Our RV currently stays outside. We're about to...

For 22 years I towed boats and travel trailers with an old Ford 7.3 liter diesel. It got the job done, but towing in the mountains and on steep secondary roads was tiring and not that relaxing. Last year I bought a 2022 Ram with the 6.7 liter diesel and 6 speed trans. It is like night and...

exhaust "stack" for when I want to get the fumes away and quiet the heater down a bit. Slips over the stock pipe.

Hello WTW Community! I recently purchased a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD OR and 2014 FWC Fleet from a family friend (we've got upgraded suspension and airbags so I'm all set there) and I am looking to do some upgrades before heading into the mountains in January for a couple of months. I've got the...

Diesel parking heater. I love these things, about the size of a loaf of bread. Exhaust pipe, combustion air intake, and fuel lines are plumbed out the bottom of the unit. They make very dry comfortable heat and are extremely efficient. Need 12V to run the fan, pump, and glow plug. Fuel pump is...

Love me a diesel parking heater. Installed the actual unit in a service bed box. Heat and control wire are plumbed through side of lower camper. Controller was disassembled to reroute and hide the wires, plus delete the "holster" for a sleeker install.

2017 XL 40BH -- sidewall and other questions Hi friends, We're considering moving from a 2007 Georgetown gasser to a 2017 XL 40BH. Wondering a few things: Has anyone experienced the wall/floor separation issue with a Berkshire XL (issue discussed here)? The mechanics I've spoken with...

Cost this company an even million bucks------ https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/epa-makes-example-out-of-another-diesel-tuner-dishes-out-seven-figure-fine/ar-AA1eUxVL?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=45e3f2bcb4b34aee962a0b38f65500f3&ei=57 You'd think people would learn by now:rolleyes:

Flooding in Italy, may make the plant that built them, beyond repair.

I've only owned gas powered trucks. As I'm looking at buying my retirement truck to travel long distances I've decided on the 2024 GMC 2500HD with the Duramax. As I research the differences between gas and diesel the regen cycle has exhaust heat around 1400 degrees if I'm searching correctly...

We are thinking about replacing our 2006 diesel pusher with a late model Super C, perhaps a DX3 or Force or Verona. A professional trucker recently told me that all the new emissions components and computers and the sensors are a real pain. Sometimes sensors malfunction and try to lead you to...

I have a 2017 DX3 37 TS with a Aqua Hot 400D The diesel tanks had almost 50 gals total in them. 52 gals filled the tanks. The Aqua Hot would not operate until the tanks were filled. My question is "Why would the Aqua Hot not work with almost 1/2 tank of fuel". The pick up tube must be set this...

Our last trip was very confusing with all the different diesel stickers we saw in Oregon & California. Fortunately, I drove around until I found diesel #2. I found this brochure from Mercedes which gives a great explanation on why we should only use diesel #2. Particularly, look at the stickers...

Every year I full up my 2013 Solera RV with Diesel fuel (26.4 Gals) and place into storage here in Florida. Then around six months later, I take out and travel. Today I had a conversation with a knowledgeable Diesel mechanic, and he told me due to the low sulfur fuel I was doing all wrong on my...

This report discusses the updates I made to the solar panel system of my motorhome. The solar panels are often given the name “photo-voltaic,” with the acronym PV. An earlier 2015 description of my installation is at...

For you experienced RVers traveling in Canada, I would appreciate any advice. We are now planning a legendary trip before we get too old to enjoy it. From Dothan, AL to Upstate MI (about 1,100 mi), then from Mackinaw City KOA (used before and love it) to Grand Forks Campground (ND), then a...

Looks like RVs with diesel engines won't be getting a break anytime soon on fuel prices. No rationing diesel yet but it could be a thing. NO diesel fuel for Recreational use just farming and commercial use only...

Hi all, just like the topic says, what do you consider a high amount of hours on the Onan 8K diesel generator? And then soon after require a rebuild or replacement. This is of course assuming proper maintenance is kept up to date. 500? 1000? 10,000? Thank you
