    Older diesel versus gas motorhomes question

    2020 F550 6.7L diesel 4x4 averages 10mpg have seen it as high as 12mpg a few times. After owning a few E series with a gas engine the F550 is night and day difference, drives just like driving a pick up, will not wear you down on long drives, handles mountains with ease, plenty of power and is...

    General Lifespan of Gas versus Diesel Motors

    Having owned many diesels over the years whether it's a truck, tractor and motor home I will always choose the diesel, you just can't beat the power and longevity of the diesel, as far as maintenance cost I don't see much of a difference between the gas and diesel, my lawn mower is diesel. We...

    Shorting out??? Any ideas?

    When the engine dies and you come to a stop will the engine turn over but won't start? If the engine turns over but NO start you need to check for fuel and spark to help narrow down the issue.

    1995 Thor Residency Leaf Spring Bushings?

    Try Jegs racing. They have poly bushings, you may have to get some measurements for what you need and call them. These are probably not the size you need but just an example. https://www.jegs.com/i/Energy-Suspension/355/3-2106R/10002/-1

    Is Anyone Happy With Their New Class C?

    We are pretty happy with ours, the F550 chassis & 6.7L diesel engine is great to drive with plenty of power unlike our our previous coaches on the E350 & E450. The down side is the build quality is not as good as should be, had plenty of defects to fix which I did myself instead of making a...

    Generator need

    At the KOA in Moab a few years back and the power went out, started the generator and turned the a/c back on, no problem. Did run an extension cord to a neighbor so they could use their fan's since they had no generator or a/c.

I purchased a small 110v water pump from Menards, I have one hose that goes in the 5gl container and the other hose hooks up to the fresh water fill, takes about 2 min's to put the container empty. I will try to remember when I am out by the...
