We will miss you guys, my friend, but I understand.

Marv, are you stepping away from the RV life?

Update on Cummins Recall. Trucks that are 2019 + are not being recalled.(yet?) Trucks that are 2013 up to build date Oct 1, 2019 are being recalled but it sounds like a software fix but that is still uncertain. This Youtube explains it all in 10 minutes with the ridiculous use of the fine proceeds a...

This is good news. Too many people have Cummins engines. My first diesel was a 2004.5 Dodge. Cummins 5.9L. That thing was a beast but boy did it belch smoke.

What is strange is EPA went after Cummins but not Ram??
I would not be buying a Cummins in the near term and I really like the Cummins engine (just not the Ram trannies!).

The EPA just gave Cummins the largest fine ever for falsifying emissions tests and records. Listening to a couple of Ram truck bloggers, this is really a mess because it is unclear what Ram Trucks’ liability as EPA only went after Cummins and further EPA limited the fine to non-commercial (I.e, no S...

Well, I pulled the trigger last week and bought a used ‘22 Chevy LTZ SRW std bed, diesel, fully loaded with 12.4k miles. After looking for 3 months (and letting a couple get away) I found this one in ST Louis. I flew out and drove it home, still saving $6k over the best deal I could find in NC. My s...

Marv, what is this “California legal” you speak of? Are there rules against carrying extra fuel in CA?

Nick, what supplemental tank did you switch to?

It borders on impossible to find a decent F350 with low miles. Ugh.

I have come to the conclusion that it is time to trade my beloved 2012 F350 6.7L SRW std bed truck. I am looking for a used, 2021-2023 diesel model with mileage below 30K and SRW, std bed. So my “religious” question for everyone who tows a 5th wheel is, which brand of diesel truck should I trade up ...

Marv, I haven’t heard of this problem. I did a quick Google and found this article on fuel pump filter failures in 2016 due to lack of lubricity. Maybe it can point your soon to a soln. Regardless…not a cheap fix. A company called Injectors Direct advertises a soln. There also is a recall for a smal...

Don, I am starting to believe the Golden Age of camping is coming to a close. We will keep doing it for a few more years but $90-$100-$110/night is absurd when most don't even have decent internet or cable. There will probably be a consolidation of the campground industry (and RV industry) as the nu...

Like Big Bird we use: Good Sam KOA AAA (RV plus) Unfortunately we tend to use KOA going across country for overnight stays but this next year I am going to drop KOA due to costs and the price of most KOA campgrounds has skyrocketed even with their discount. This camping business is becoming a very e...

Thanks for the code. The DEF I added was not BLUE and I can't locate dates on the container. The Ford repairman recommended not using when more than 6 months old and once the container is opened, pitch any that is left because it is exposed to air possibly expediting the crystalization.
