    Marking diesel pumps

    Wouldn't it be nice if stations marked the end of the islands (a green tag or flag) where the diesel pumps are located. I know most have the diesel on the end, but you have to look for the green handle and it's too late if there's no diesel (especially when pulling a 40 footer) :crying:

    Carrying Extra Diesel Fuel

    Given our upcoming travel plans, I've been wanting to carry some extra fuel just in case the "oh crap" happens and I can't easily find somewhere to stop. I've been debating carrying 10-20 gallons of fuel in two or four 5-gallon cans. (What I'd really like to do is get the larger fuel tank, but...

    Diesel Mileage

    I recently pulled a new F.R. Sierra 377FLIK with a 2012 Ram 3500 dually diesel 4x4. It has the 6.7 motor with a 3.73 rear end. Used the Andersen fifth wheel hitch, it worked great pulling the 13000 lbs. plus, trailer and load. The truck pulled great, everything went well. Except, I'm a little...

    To diesel or not to diesel?

    Wanted to get some opinions I have a 2015 Cherokee 274dbh 31ft travel trailer. I currently pull it with a 2013 f150 fx4 ecoboost and I'm getting terrible mpg while towing. I have been looking to trade to an F250 6.7 diesel for additional power and mpg. This is also my daily driver for a 20 mile...

    233s/Grand Cherokee Diesel

    Hello, I'm new to RVs and towing but really interested in a hybrid camper. The 233s is what I really like. This will require an upgraded tow vehicle as our '11 Odyssey will clearly not cut it. My question is, is the Diesel Grand Cherokee adequate as a tow vehicle for the 233s? I have a...

    DIY Diesel Oil Changes?

    I usually change my wife's oil & filter in her '09 Santa Fe... easy and definitely saves a few bucks since I do the full-synthetic thing... I have changed my own oil for decades, but having a company truck for the last 20 years spoiled me. Now I have this new Ram / Cummins and need to keep costs...

    Easy access to diesel fuel?

    We have a new and bigger trailer and truck. About 10 feet longer then our first rig, a F-150 (Gas) with a Gray Wolf 19RR toy hauler. It was about 40' total length. We never had a problem getting gas becasue we fit into most gas stations. However this rig, F250 (diesel) and a Work & Play 25 ULA...

    Propane versus Diesel

    We seem to have the same issue as others with off-season camping and heating with propane. We find that the propane heat is very wet, so the windows and walls sweat. Since the toy-hauler has a fuel cell I am considering installing two of the D5's to replace the propane furnace...

    New diesel truck questions

    I want to travel more this summer, including a trip to the Rockies and I am thinking about moving to a diesel truck. I have done a lot of research and come to really no conclusion as to what I should buy. The big 3 have seemed to resolved their major past problems and so I would some input...

    Diesel fuel prices

    Hey campers, just wondering how much of a difference you're seeing between diesel and gas these days. Used to be around .30-.35/gallon around here, but now it's a buck. Can't wait to hear the justification of these price differences. I wish the oil companies/distributors would just come out and...

    Price of Diesel

    We crossed the border to Post Huron MI yesterday to do a little shopping and was amazed at the price of diesel there is a whole dollar between gas and diesel, did they stop making it from crude oil :roll eyes: it's cheaper in Canada and that should be embarrassing to you guys south of us.:cool:

    Diesel vs propane generator

    Just a suggestion to anyone ordering a new Solera. If you will be doing a lot of camping in the cold with no electric available. You should probably order your generator with the diesel option. Husband is camping up near Stanley ID. Nights are down in the 20's and he is keeping the furnace set...

    Gas vs Diesel: Building a Rig

    So we are looking to get a used 3/4 ton for a Hawk FWC. The question is a gas engine or a diesel, as this truck will not be an everyday driver. We hope to go camping about once a month, with the truck sitting for the rest of the time (about 3 weeks). We were looking at a 99-2000 Ford F250 with...

    Gas or diesel

    I have decided that the F150 I have is just not going to cut it with the trailer I have. Have an opportunity to get a pretty good deal on some 2015 350 Super Duty trucks coming available in a couple of weeks with very low mileage on them. Some are 6.7 diesel and some are 6.2 gas. Are there any...
