    Thor Aria Design Malpractice?

    We purchased a 2024 Thor Aria 3401 at the end of February. It's about time for the generator break-in oil change. However, there is a piece of angle iron that is bolted in place preventing anyone from opening the cover on the generator that provides access to the oil filter. So far, dealer and...

    Jackie and I give high marks to the Ford Transit chassis of our Compass and hope that it gives us many years and miles of great travels. In online reviews, the EcoBoost engine in the Transit generally receives very good ratings. Its “cam phasers,” which change the valve timing, and the twin...

    Generator Oil

    Hello Friends! We recently changed our Onan Generator break in oil (after 25 miles), and my husband put in 10 W 30 synthetic motor oil. Generator now seems to get to hot and will turn off. Not sure why other than it's a synthetic oil. Manual does not say what weight oil to replace...

    1st time Ram Cummins Filter Change

    I'm going to do my 1st oil/fuel change in my new to me 2020 Ram 3500 Cummins 6.7 HO. Does anyone have a recommendation on filters? I'm not picky, I'm willing to go OEM or aftermarket. I see a set of OEM Mopar for a $110, and others for as low as $35 (same kit, both oil and fuel). With many...

    2016 Greyhawk Oil Changes

    Just wondering about consensus on oil change frequency for a 32ft Greyhawk, E450 after the initial 3000 miles. I’ve read every 3000, 5000, and 7500 - haha. I’ve been doing every 5000 and doing mostly highway driving. Any thoughts?

    Vegas Chassis Battery Access Panel

    As most of you know, to access the chassis battery on Vegas/Axis rigs you have to remove the workstation cover and cut away the plywood piece. This also provides better access to the oil fill port for those of us that can't pump oil. So I found the following wonderful Home Depot spring access...
