Hello all, First of let me say new to the forum and enjoy what I'm seeing so far. I am in the current debate of getting a new tow vehicle for my camper. I have a 2019 Coachmen Catalina Legacy Edition 323BHDSCK with a maximum weight of 9000lbs, 7500lb dry weight. 950lb tongue weight. It is a...

Just curious how other RAM diesel owners are using there exhaust brake while towing and not towing ?...I was generally using full exhaust brake but have been doing more experimenting using the automatic exhaust braking by say for instance going downhill and maintaining a steady speed and if I...

Downsizing. Sold '17 Cedar Creek 40 foot 5th and Dodge 1 ton. Just purchased a 2016 Ram Ecodiesel 1/2 ton 4x4. Now looking for a smaller travel trailer. Is anybody towing travel trailers with the Ecodiesel? I think I'm maxed out at 9,000 lbs on a trailer, but haven't hooked up to any thing...

Complete build, ready for adventure. To build this today would be $140k+. Not including all of your time, researching, planning, tuning, traveling back and forth between each builder (AT Overland, CJC Offroad, Carli Suspension, Deaver Leaf Springs, etc.) All of the legwork has been done...

Getting ready to pull the trigger to buy the Isata 3. Looks like I am going to have to order one. I am trying to decide whether to order one with either propane or diesel generator. WE do not do much boondocking but will get in a situation once in a while that we may run the generator for one...

Lots of discussion around diesel reliability in the thread I started on the new Super Duty Gasser so I figured I'd start a new thread on extended warranty plans. I purchased my current truck used with 29k miles on it and have only put 2,500 miles on it so far. I love driving this truck but it's...

Starting a search for used diesel pushers and see Cat or Cummings in them. I was curious if 1 was any more reliable than the other. I believe cat doesn’t do the RV market any longer.

Wife and I have a rockwood 2606ws and pull it with a Nissan titan xd Cummins turbo diesel. Yesterday I read that Nissan wont make the diesel titan after this year. We love the truck but wonder about part availability and since Nissan wont have a diesel any more will they have diesel mechanics 5...

For us regular folks, who ocasionally like to research & study, this thread is intended to collect, review & expand exposure to various hydronic & diesel air heating systems utilized in busses, trucks, boats, & RVs. Obviously, this technology has been around for quite some time and is available...

Selling as a unit, this crew cab 4x4 with flatbed, and the Alaskan cabover that was built to fit it. 123,000 miles on truck. Emissions removed, tires new last year, runs fine. Back seats removed but I still have them. Camper has 4 interstate AGMs, solar panel on top, 2 awnings (one needs...

We're pulling a Rockwood 2715VS Ultra-V with our 2018 Ram 2500 Longhorn (6.7L Cummins, A/T, Crew, 4x4 shortbed), and are wanting to move up to a fifth wheel for more room and storage and 4-seasons camping. Anyone having satisfactory results with a Forest River 5-er and this tow vehicle...

https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2020-ram-1500-ford-f150-chevy-silverado-gmc-sierra-diesel-truck-comparison/ 480 ft-lbs, an 8 speed, and a 12,560 pound tow rating looks like a nice improvement on the older Ecodiesel. Need payload and EPA ratings still, but it's supposed to be better than the...

The DW myself and are two Poms made a solo run in the RAM from the Charlotte, NC area to Pottstown, PA (150E to 77N to 81N to PA Turnpike East) last week for a short vacation to visit Family a little over 1K round trip hand calculated the MPG was 23.30 not bad for a heavy 4x4 diesel. I didn’t...

Not looking to start the Chevy, Ford, dodge war, that’s not what I am after. We are a few months away from looking at a new TV and I am on the fence right now. Gas engines I am familiar with but diesel not so much. What are some of the issues common with diesels? Are these issues something...

I'm posting this thread in the General Discussions to get as much feedback as I can on the operation of a diesel class A. I've previously posted that my DW and I are leaving the gas rig group as of this coming Thursday when we pick up our 2014 Sportcoach DP. What are some pointers I/we should...

Just a thought to ponder. Got a text from friend last night to see if I wanted to see his new toy. (think he owns every power tool ever made) So I go over and right away I see the NEW 2019 Ram Laramie 3500 Dually in his driveway. Beautiful Crew Cab...Some awesome kinda red color. So I'm...

Just stopped at a Pilot in Newburgh NY... Diesel price 3.67 a gallon. Across the street Mobil at 3.20 and Cumberland farms a quarter mile away at 3.19... Anyone else notice that the Pilot Flying J are quite a bit higher priced on Diesel than the competing stations... I guess they figure that...

Last weekend was our first RV park experience, had a great time, but one thing bugged me. The guy in the spot next to us, whose F950 or whatever it was, parked about a foot away from the side of our trailer, would start his truck at 0700 every morning, and it would idle at least 5 minutes...

Many posts about where to fuel and not to fuel. As far as I'm concerned it is personal preference. But seems a lot of people do not know of pilot/ flying j plus card. Use it at the pump,( like a credit card ) get &.08 off the CASH price. Must be paid off each mo. Usually the &.08 makes up for a...
