    Gas vs Diesel for towing vehicle

    I am in a real quandary. I currently have 2004 duramax that just had its 4th set of injectors installed in 120,00 miles. I even installed a double filtration lift pump after the last set and they lasted only 12k. At $5000 a shot this truck is becoming way too expensive to  maintain. I spend...

    GMC Duramax Diesel

    I have a 2004. My first set of injectors went at 60k, done under warranty, the second set at 40k later. The diesel shop I went to the second time told me the issue is fuel filtration. He said the injectors are designed for European diesel not US/Canadian or Mexican diesel which is not as clean...

    Too many to choose from for a TT.

    I just moved to a TT. I ended up with a Snowriver 234RBS http://northwoodmfg.com/index.php?page=model&make=snowriver&id=1105 made by Northwood (arctic Fox). Only bummer is I have to extend the slide a foot to get at the bathroom, but I wanted to go as short as i could and still have a walk...

    At what point do you need equalize/sway bars?

    I wonder this myself. I just bought a trailer (not picked up yet) with a 550 ib hitch rating. I have a torklift superhitch already so the hitch can certainly handle it. I also have a 1 ton diesel dually with supersprings . The back is already 3 inches higher than the front on this truck, I doubt...

    Alaska- Caravan vs. going Solo?? Advise wanted!!

    I run caravans down into Mexico (caravanas de mexico). The reason people take caravans is to have all the hassles taken care of for them. In the case of Mexico its a language and safety concern as well. Some people enjoy having the company and people to sit around a campfire with and so on...

    Taking the kids to Vancouver, BC

    I do have a web page on vancouver with a section on its RV Parks. I am sorry to say I am a bit remiss in keeping it up to date. Offhand I would say the park in Tsawassen near the victoria ferry terminal may be the best bet since it is attached to waterslides if you are going in summer. Transport...
