Re: Class A Motorhome Gasser
I am afraid this will not help, but after looking at all the replies I can only add My 2004 8.1 Vortec has 100,000 miles plus and runs great don't burn any oil and has pulled my 38 foot moterhome towing a Jeep Liberty over the rockies many time. Good Luck.981Views0likes0CommentsRe: Just bought an RV with 1 year remaining on the Couch Only

If you want to learn the details, here is an example of the issues: https://www.exploroz.com/members/145028.75/1/2009/queensland_adventures_winter_2008.aspx?p=%2fblogs%2fdefault.aspx I could not easily convert to propane because there was no back access and no roof vent. Instead I got a much smaller (4 cuft) Nova Kool compressor refrigerator. It pulls 2.3 amps. The duty cycle time is HIGHLY dependent on ambient temperatures. Around 60 degrees it runs maybe 1/4 of the time. By 70 degrees, the duty cycle increases to between 1/3 and 1/2. At 80 degrees it runs full time. Beyond that it struggles to maintain frozen food and a 40 degree refrigerator temp. I super insulated the compartment, increased the ventilation and even use a couple of computer fans on the coils in hot weather.601Views0likes0Comments
