F-450 6.0 liter truck chassis?
Normally most class C's come with a gas engine, and would be built on the van front end style E-450 with a V10 engine, though some where sold with 7.3L and 6.0 liter diesel engines.
IF you have a diesel E-450 chassis, it is a rare option to find. They tend to be a bit noisy when climbing hills, but otherwise are a great choice to camp with.
The 6L and 6.4L Fords need to have a water coolant filter installed on the engine. THis is NAPA part number FIL4070 and a kit to install it is NAPA # FIL 4019. The coolant filter will help any vehicle, but especially the diesel engines. It prevents the oil cooler from clogging, that can lead to the exhaust gas cooler overheating and damage to the engine that can result from both of those conditions.
I agree, my RV has a normal gravity fill, and there is a valve near my water pump. If I turn it on, then I can fill my fresh tank from the campground water hookup. It works out pretty well, unless I forget to turn it off after 10 minutes.
