This group provides a forum for owners and operators of diesel powered motorhomes and 5th wheel tractors to discuss mechanical issues, regulatory issues (US, Canada), ownership, insurance, campground accommodations, trip reports/suggestions, and other topics relevant to large RVs and the people who drive them.
319 miles , 25.8 MPG .
Some AC use , Startron added 3Oz. per fillup .
I've gotta yank and test the injectors as this engine still spits Diesel Smoot all over the cove and the air leaks into the trunk mean everything in it is covered with soot .
