Read the find print

Not exactly true, 15,000 miles or 6 months which ever comes first, If you use bio-diesel it is 12,000 miles. So not a wash. In the diesel you have fuel filter change requirements also.

Installed a 7kw gasoline Onan in my DRV but if I have a do over would not do it. The added weigh and loss of storage does not justify it. If you do a lot of dry camping maybe but a portable Honda can...

RV Consumer Group Ratings

Has anyone paid the membership to "RV Consumer Group" which is a non-profit organization which rates the different 5th wheels by model and manufacture? If so, is it worth the $139 investment?

I believe Cheap Heat is a good alternative to propane. If you are in cold weather you can go through a lot of propane, filling those bottles is a pain.

DRV 3rd A/C

Going to order a 36RSSB3 DRV. I have been advised by one dealer to get a 3rd A/C if I plan on spending time in hot climates. Is this a good idea or a waste of a thousand dollars?
