We tried the Class A this winter and we just loved the room, the couch, the big screen TV, going around the bed, the view up front and not to have to go outside when going from the driver seat to the table seat.
Well, different type of travel now, not so much in the back country.

Hooked up #8 wire to #1 upfitter switch which is a 30amp circuit and ran it to a 2 pole socket I installed in the bed to connect to a 2 pole plug dedicated to running the refrigerator.
Can't wait for our 1st chance to use the new truck with the camper. It will be a few weeks yet.

I had a 2002 Holiday Rambler (owned by Monaco) Class A with 300 Cummins. The radiator went out on one trip and it was a $6500 expense to get it pulled and replaced, plus 10 days hanging out at an out of state repair center. Right after that I sold it and down sized to a TC. Could not be happier. Monaco and HR had issues with their diesel radiators back in 2001-2003. Others experienced the same thing. Do yourself a favor and have the rad checked out. The oil overflow tube from the engine would throw back oil into the rad causing clogging, corrosion, and failure. The position and location of the rad in those diesels made it very difficult to see and check out. It was a common problem, and very expensive repair.

Why?
Truck needs to go to the dealer because it's throwing a bunch of CEL codes, ABS light and brake light on the dash.
2 of the 3 codes I was able clear, but the third one keeps coming back microseconds after I clear it.

Thanks for the info I will check this out. I do have a very small leak from the bottom of the rad. The problem I had so far was the turbo electric actuator. Cummins does not sell those separatly and they want 3500 for the turbo assembly. But I did fix it by drilling the little motor and sealing it so antifreeze does not get in anymore, hope it will last. The other thing was the Kweeke hydraulic Jacks, fixed now.
