Nothing like a comment on a truck to get a lot of chatter going. All recent model heavy duty diesels have had problems. Many of these problems relate to modifications made to comply with EPA rules and contaminated bio-fuel. Manufacturer competition to increase power probably also adds strain to...

Ice makers in RV's are accidents waiting to happen. Think of where that thin water feed line goes. If it doesn't freeze, it's still bound to eventually develop a leak just because it's constantly being flexed. I turned the ice maker on our residential refrigerator off before any water got in it...

Induction cookware has to be magnetized. Not all stainless is magnetized and, of course, aluminum isn't either. You probably will only need 2 or 3 pots and pans for most of your cooking. You'll probably find that the cost of buying 2 or 3 of quality pots and pans will be almost as much as buying...

The FLTruck MPG comparison showed a pretty good difference between the F350 (worse) and the Ram 3500 (better), so much so, that the FLTruck people were surprised. Two things to note: first if you watch the video, it appears that the F350 spends more time at stop lights than the Ram; second, the...

We just got a 3010 and like others were looking for something shorter but still offering good insulation and features. We previously had a Cameo 34CKQ (33'11"). The Cameo had 4 slides and a split bath, something we liked, and was shorter than the BH 3010. There are a couple of reasons 5th wheels...

Regarding the comment that Ford dealer told you that "no one has requested synthetic", I got the same comment before. Didn't surprise me. Service tech's aren't very techie. And, the guys they use to change the oil aren't the sharpest tools in the dealer's shed either. Ford Super Duties are...

2011 and later Ford Super Duty diesels monitor engine oil for heat, time of use and perhaps(?) viscosity and will tell you when to change engine oil. Ford says changing engine oil more often than the monitor tells you is unnecessary and recommends against it. One of the few advantages of the...

You will want at least a one ton dually, diesel. All three manufactures make good products. All three have there good and bad points. So, it's pretty much a mater of preference. You most probably do not need 4 wheel drive unless you plan on towing your new 365 through mud holes. You also do not...

What type of refrigerator do you have? What were the temperatures during your experiment? Do you have 2 or now 3 batteries? What type of battery are you using? Are all batteries the same type, age and make?

Or, anyone receiving a pension. The problems affecting domestic auto manufactures are many and go back decades. Too say that one group or on thing has brought them to where they are today is simplistic. Speaking of greedy, does anyone pay full manufactured suggested retail when they but their truck?

Wonder if this will bankrupt them? It will be interesting to see how Fiat structured Chrysler. Can they separately dump Chrysler? Everyone should be careful what they wish for.

We have a B&W hitch and are very pleased with it. Others give it good reviews. A good place to get one is ETrailer. People there are very knowledgeable and may offer you other ideas and solutions. Also Etrailer has good videos.

This is a good question. The Bighorn outdoor shower is a cheaper version of what other trailers have with a quick disconnect and about 15' of hose. It also looks to me like a mess waiting to happen. If anything freezes in the Bighorn, it will first be that shower. Moreover, the way the short...

You might ask the dealer what he would charge to make the swap. Also, if you are willing to travel, you can probably find similarly equipped 2015's with residential refrigerators. I share you concern and probably similar experience with Norcold (sometimes referred to by RV techs as Nocold).
