I have DEF in my tank that is 2years old , should I get rid of it and replace it with new or just add new to it? It has about 7 to 10 gallons in it. I just recently had an engine code show up on my dash and I Wondering if bad DEF could be the cause. Also anyone used the Rislone additive to the diesel to clean the system.

Scott, thank you for the feedback. My knowledge of engines is somewhat limited but I am learning quickly. I just hate to rule out what could be a good RV just because it has a rear radiator!

I have been reading some of your posts. Thinking of purchasing a Vectra 36RDS. My SO has heard that rear radiators are more difficult to work on than side radiators. I really like the floorpan of the Vectra and the horizon. What is your opinion. Thank you. Caren

I read a post a while back that said you sold a hydralift. I have one on the coach I'm buying and don't need it...it's built for a golf cart. How and where did you sell the thing??

I'm not sure if I am operating the tag axle dump control properly on my newly purchased Dutch Star. Would someone please explain dumping, auto dump, manual dumping and process reversal ?? Thanks.

Hi FIRE UP,

I wanted to let you know after a few more “hit & misses” w/my Onan 7.5 staying running; I’ve decided I’m going to start dismantling the front bumper/cap on Thursday! I’m going to replace the thermostat and temp sensor. I’ve just read your 2012 post and saw your pics about removing the sensor....holy crap! I know I’ll also have problems as my unit is a bit rusted from its time in Lake Michigan.

May I contact you again directly for help in removing that sensor? I didn’t understand the “freeze” part of your heat-and-freeze method of loosening the sensor.

Anyways, thanks for all the posting and pics on this subject!

sorry so late in my response... been a lot going on around here. My email is imjeani@comcast.net. I so appreciate your willingness to help and yes it is the CAT 350 engine. Thank you, Jeani

Hello. I am struggling with remembering how to post questions to the group so taking a chance on asking you as it seems you have a ton of expertise. We are having the red engine light coming on when we are throttling like climbing hills and such, but it goes right off as soon as we let up on the accelerator. We have a 2005 Itasca Meridian 39K. Any ideas?

I am removing and replacing the radiator in a 2008 Winnebago Tour 40 foot. ( Cummins Engine ) Do you have any pictures or additional information on this project, any thing would greatly be appreciated. thank you , Patrick

Are you a 'expert' on RV inverters???
I was considering a way to bypass my inverter, Why?
I have 50A service, but am limited to 30A total on everything that has access to the inverter.
Wintered in CO, tried to heat as much as possible with 110v heaters.
Turn out the inverter limits you to 30A
