    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...

    Diesel at Costco! ??

    Hi all, I am currently on vacation in Arizona (without my truck and trailer) and we pulled in to the Costco gas station in Prescott. To my surprise they sell diesel from the pumps on the far right hand side of the forecourt. I don't know if this is something new and something Costco will be...

    Just learned this weekend that the Sunseeker came out in a diesel version similar to the Solera and see Forester also. So what is the difference between the 3? Do the Sunseeker and Forester have more outdoor storage? We just drove past a dealership 2 days ago and saw a 24 ft diesel Sunseeker on...

    Low DEF warning light on 3L turbodiesel Solera

    Has anyone experienced this warning light coming on? I topped up the DEF before leaving on the last trip, and it came on after 100km. I'm now in the countdown stage for the number of starts I have before the engine goes into limp mode. I topped up the tank again when I got home, but the light is...

    RAM diesel trucks with little rear ends

    I was thinking about buying a 2014 2500 Ram today, but noticed they only offer a 3:42 rear axle ratio rear end for their 2500 diesel trucks. They still claim a towing capacity of 17,800 or so, which is what used to require a 3:73 rear axle ratio. They still offer their heavier rear ends for...
