I have been looking at a 2004 F250 diesel 4x4 to for an update . The original owner has it for sale, only has 60,000 miles.He has receipts for all recommended service. NO modifications on the vehicle or engine. Anyone using this type of unit to tow. I have heard that was a bad year for Ford...

Has anyone used the new RAM 1500 3.0 L diesel for towing? Seems like the ideal size for part time towing and good mileage. It's new, so any info on mileage and maintenance issues welcome. It's time to decide whether to trade the Burb in ... or keep it.

We have a 2011 Solera Freightliner diesel. I wanted to ask how long is too long to keep the engine idle. We are traveling through the summer and need to run the AC during the day for our driver. (We use our RV for work) Instead of running the Generator we were wanting to keep the engine going...

I asked a question regarding their testing of the Ram 1500 diesel and it made the magazine. They did skirt around the answer a bit. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using the FRF mobile app.

Just wanted to throw this out there. As I, and I'm sure others are new to diesel power in our RV's, it would be great for some of you veterans to pass along some wisdom from your experiences of the do's and don'ts of DP's. Any help will be appreciated. Rich

Have any Solera owners installed a Genturi for the diesel genset? I am thinking of purchasing one but due to the location of the gen set near front driver's side , wondering how I would anchor it without installing brackets on the coach? Other sprinter based rvs strap the Genturi to the ladder...

Folks, In researching the above topic I see no history as to this quesiton being previously discussed. If such a topic does exist I would appreciate a link to that thread. BACKGROUND: Being new to diesel side of TVs I have been doing a bit of research of how to do things... One of the...

I went out to start my truck we were going to the in laws for dinner. Truck started but was missing like crazy I turned it. We jumped in the Wife'said car and went to the in laws (where I am right now. Truck ran fine the other day. I'm thinking (and hoping) that it is a Cam Position Sensor. I...

My sons girlfriend borrowed my truck last night. She put unleaded fuel in a Ford 6.4 diesel truck drove about 10 miles. Dealer says we can do an easy fix of draining the tank replacing filters ext for about 2,000 with the possibility of problems down the road or replace the high pressure fuel...

Just returned home from a trip to the Elkhart factory to have items corrected that my dealer was unable to fix correctly. Randy and his team rock!! Warren was my tech and he accomplished more in a day and half than my dealer who had my rv for more than 3 weeks. It was good to put a face to...

Just can't let it go. My head says no way. The Encounter is now just where I want it, I can get it serviced for $60 compared to $350 to $500 for a diesel and though the mileage may be a little less than diesel, I pay less for gasoline which looks like a wash in my book. But the heart thinks...

My wife and I are thinking of hauling our Cruiser Patriot down to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico for a few weeks next winter and were wondering if anyone had any recommendations for full-hookup campgrounds in the northern half of the peninsula? We do NOT want to go down as far as Cabo San Lucas...

It seems it was just a month ago that diesel here in SE Michigan was $3.69 and now it is $4.29 & have seen $4.49. Does anyone have any clue as to why the price is up $.50 per gallon in just a month?

Lots of discussion about the best rig to tow with but not a lot of hard data to consider. So I wrote this to detail the performance of our 2013 RAM 2500 Diesel pickup while pulling a 2013 Forest River Flagstaff 832IKBS 34 foot travel trailer across country. So let me know if you have any...

In the market for a 5th wheel. My tow vehicle is a 2014 Gmc 2500 D/A. Wondering if anyone else in this forum tows this unit with a 3/4 ton truck. Thanks for any input

Just bought a 01 Reflection 35 foot on Spartan chasis. Of course I filled it up on the maiden voyage. First stop 80 miles later I parked on a downhill slope. Diesel was pouring out from behind front wheel. Either by the filler spout or top of tank. Any ideas? Mark

My wife and I are in the market for a new 5th wheel. I recently bought a 2014 GMC 2500 with the Duramax diesel. The 360 Crusader has caught our eye and has dry weight numbers that indicate it could be safely towed by our truck. I'm interested to know if anyone on this forum has the same model...

My 2009 Sportscoach legend engine compartment prop open arm catch won't catch and lock open. Coachman is telling me there is no maintenance manual showing a diagram with part number. They also gave me the part number for the upper grill assembly, say I need to replace the whole upper grill. Does...

First, let me be honest, I am being lazy. I always drain the fuel from my generators and run them out of gas, so I am trying to avoid doing that right now. I could go out and test it for myself (and eventually probably will), but just curious if anyone has tried theirs. I have a 2000 F250...

Looking at Vengeance 396V and the Vengeance 316A. If I am understanding all of these tow guidelines, the pin weight should be fine. What I am worried about is the total weight. We actually wont be towing toys in it so it will just be the water and personal belongings needed for weekend trips...

Considering F350 diesel crew cab trucks to pull a 5er. I'm finding that there are more short boxes available than long. Looking at 2011 models. Can I get some pros and cons. Thanks in advance, Katie
