My 2000 F-250 7.3 SRW
Hello,
We have a 2000 F-250 7.3 Turbo Diesel SRW SD with 72,000 which has been super babied. We are moving up from 21ft Aerolite TT to a Cardinal 33TSLX 2004 fiver. My husband is a touring musician and we will be out on the road for 8 months in 2007.
Have a Reese 16000 hitch. As full timers we are never in a hurry and will be traveling 4 hrs per day between stops and never book shows which cause us to rush. Never drive over 60. Never travel with full or even half full holding tanks.
What do you think of our rig and TV? Any suggestions to add to performance of TV..? We don't wish to change our TV. 7.3 is a powerfull and time proven engine. All the bad posts we have read on the 6.0 makes us feel confident with our engine.

We pull with an F250 also. We try to keep weight in mind in terms of packing in the cargo area and travelling with empty tanks 99% of the time. Scott added Timbrens instead of airbags and has been very happy with them. I agree with Charles that it helps with keeping things level and for us helped with the side to side motion when on a curve in the roadway. Good luck and welcome to the group!
Happy to be a member

Hi Yogi Here
I also have a 7.3 powerstroke, a 2000 super baby with only 54K and we've owned it since day 1. Changed the batteries this year and put a big ol' 5" exhaust on it. Will install pillar gauges and a chip come spring. Keep your truck it will pull like a champ, we also have airbags on it, it really helps the ride. We need the chip for those big foothills on the way to Branson, a litle more power doesn't hurt.
Enjoy your new camper,
Wayne
