DEF tank
New owner of a 2016 Navion 24G and was wondering if this RV has a DEF tank and how often it needs to be filled and where the input tube is located on the vehicle? Thanks. Terry

Question out of idle curiosity (DEF not something I have to worry about).
What happens if you run out of DEF and don't refill?
Creep mode, 5mph. After that no idea, but probably no go.
yep, limp mode....but you're given a warning and a distance you can travel before you would go into limp mode....no big deal...you can get 2.5 gallon Blue Def at Wally World and a whole lot of other places now a day's...can also get at the pump, (google DEF pump locations). One can purchase a 2.5 gallon of DEF and keep it with them if they think they might need it. In 2 yrs 2 months and 32,000 miles on my truck, I've never come near even getting the low level warning.....I even stopped carrying the 2.5 gallon jug, "just in case"...I get it at the pump about 5 miles from my house. Once I got full time, may start carrying a 2.5 gallon reserve just in case...but it's MUCH cheaper at the pump.
On edit: I had a 2010 non DEF Ram 3500 DRW/CC/LB/Cummins with 68RFE and 4.10, in Laramie trim, then a 2012 Ram DRW/CC/LB/Cummins with 68RFE, 4.10/HO in Longhorn trim, neither with DEF....I now have truck in my sig..it's heavier with new front and rear suspension, frame and Aisin is heavier than 68RFE, BUT with DEF I get better MPG towing and empty than I did in my 10' or 12' without DEF.......DEF is a plus, cost per mile is miniscule.
