Back in Sept 2019 I bought a GMC 2500 HD Denali Duramax to tow my 2018 Rockwood 2902WS travel trailer. Trailer is 33'9" length and around 7500-8000lbs loaded. Fastway E2 1000/10,000lb hitch. 1/3 tank of fresh water, 200lb in the truck bed.
A post surgical back issue and Covid delayed any...
Hi all - the Mrs and I just pulled the trigger on a new Ram 2500 diesel. I’ve never owned a diesel truck before, so time to get educated!
What do I need to know?
Look forward to the discussion!
Best wishes,

I'm looking into purchasing a Forester MBS 2401B and noticed it comes with an LP generator but there is also a diesel option. Does anyone have any thoughts about the pros/cons of each?

I've read a few older threads about 1/2 diesel towing but nothing specifically about their real-world MPG. I currently pull a RW Mini-Lite 2109s with a 421 lbs tongue weight and typically just under 5K lbs loaded weight so I don't really have any need or desire to go up to 3/4 ton. That said...

I am looking for a replacement furnace for my Atwood, something that will fit into the same space.

Traveling around I use truck stops to refuel. But there is so much diesel on everything including the ground. Short of changing shoes every stop, how can one reduce the pickup of the fuel. I use gloves or paper towels on the pump handle. Maybe it’s just me but the smell seems to linger.
Planned a trip to Louisiana this weekend and just curious if diesel fuel is available around Natchitoches. Don't want to get stranded without fuel to get back home.
