Well, been pulling successfully for quit a few years with the F150,but always wanted to upgrade.

Hey folks, wanted to poll the forum and find out if anybody has ever experienced the coolant hose coming off (where it's clamped), going into the engine. We have a 2012 Berkshire 390BH (360HP Cumins) with 70,000 miles and in the middle if the desert this weekend, the coolant hose came off and...

Any still towing with a '08-'10 diesel 6.4l. mine just turned 225,000 miles and all original except turbos were replaced under warranty at 14,000 miles. Has anyone had the front cover replaced and willing to share what the repair cost you? Thanks in advance.

PLEASE do not flame me regarding this post. I know I am towing over my max. I’ve been helped with this before, but I am still concerned about my GAWR and would like to have someone who really knows how to figure out how much I am over my limit give me a hand. Been towing in many arduous...

Newby question: What is best strategy for gassing up my diesel while pulling my 36 ft 5th wheel? 13 ft high clearance. I stopped at a truck stop only once, trucks were backed up 3 deep, some just sitting with motors running, is this the norm? Yes, I know Gassing is wrong word, you know what...

Hey everyone, I’m new here, stumbled across this page yesterday. Be warned this will likely be a long post and I was unsure whether I should put this in the camper section or here, but there will be a good bit about the truck...figured this will work. At any rate I’ve been looking at FWC’s for...

We would like to go up the coast on US Hwy 101 from San Francisco to Washington and, from other threads, the trip appears to be fine for larger rigs. My question is related to finding large rv friendly diesel stops along the route. Did a check of truck stop using "Allstays" app. and did not find...

Being relatively new to owning a diesel pusher (2016 Berkshire XLT 43b, 450 turbo diesel with a 150 gallon tank), I learned a super valuable lesson yesterday I want to share with you. Everyone (ok, most people) know that you never mix gas with diesel or visa versa. Having filled my RV a number...

Was just on I40 west of Little Rock and saw a diesel fuel price of $3.04. Hadn't seen it that high in Arkansas for years. Buying it at $2.69 in Hot Springs, today.

Hi I’m traveling from Florida to upstate New York soon. I usually use FlyingJ but when I can’t I would use one of the above! One of these 2 has a prepay which I hate which one does? Thanks

Why do most people refer to modern diesel emission systems as DEF system? DEF is just one component of a diesel's emission system and I personally think the most reliable and trouble free component as compared to the diesel particulate filter (DPF). Typical diesel emission components: EGR...

My wife and I just purchase a 2008 Forest River Berkshire 390QS. We have been RVing in a gas Monaco 36D for 12 years. I know what we purchase is 3 or so feet longer are there any suggestions. We are excited but a little bit ??? you know. Thanks Bill and Lynn

What's a good iPhone app you use & like for diesel fuel & trucks stop locations?

I pull a 14,000 lb Sierra Fiver with a 2013 Dodge 3500 Dually. I have encountered multiple issues with DEF causing fuel sensor problems. Twice this happened while traveling. The last event required replacement of the entire particulate unit requiring four days to repair. Thankfully each time I...

Here’s the situation. I have a 2006 Dodge 2500 4x4, with 5.9 diesel, 193,000 miles. Love the truck, but just not comfortable trusting it on long tours. I recently retired in Feb and just completed a two month cross country trip of 9000 miles towing my 20’ Grey Wolf 19rr toy hauler ( 6000 pounds...

Four years ago when we purchased this glorious 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 with its 12 valve Cummins engine, I said I’d never sell her. We christened her “Darlene”. When we finally found the perfect Four Wheel Camper Grandby and it slid oh-so-perfectly into the bed of Darlene, I reiterated to Beth that...

What percentage of BioDiesel is allowed in the MB Sprinter without voiding the warranty?

Im thinking selling my 2012 Ram 1500 Hemi and buying a Ram 1500 Eco Diesel but I have reservations, and hoping you all can help. We typically camp within the state and only extended weekends so we have all of our food, wood, ice, bikes, etc... prior to leaving for the weekend. We fill the water...

I would appreciate any leads
