My snowmobile trailer is only a 2 place enclosed so no biggie. Our Coachmen is 36.7', F350 is 20.6' and I have a long hitch shank that I figures adds about 12". its a long train.
I don't usually do my own oil changes. But I do change the oil in my truck every 3000 miles. I read that the Cummins can go 10000 miles between oil changes. Is this accurate? How often do people change the oil & filter and also fuel filters? Approx. what is the cost to have these changed? I know a lot of people say if you have to ask you shouldn't bother but I am a planner and would hate to get into this ignorant. My V10 get 7.5 towing and 12 empty. My research shows that I could see 11 towing and 17 empty. My commute to work is 11 miles @ 60 mph. Is this doable? Thanks!
Put a 30' boat trailer behind your Coachman and that's about how long I am.;)
I change mine at about 10,000 miles. According to the trucks computer I usually have around 25-30% left. I have the gas trucks at work on a 5,000 mile oil change schedule and the diesels are done at 7,000.
