    We're running an 04 Sprinter Leisure Travel class B and are getting 22 MPG (120K). What are you getting for mileage? We're thinking about moving up a notch is size.

    Thanks Ron always good to see your videos. Guess I need to exercise mine I don’t think it’s been started since August. I’ll have to pull it outside since mine stays inside when I’m not using it. Cheers

    Your presentation of information, Ron, is straight forward and very easy to understand. I have a question on a video about the installation of a Hellwig sway bar I'm preparing to install on my 2104 Winnebago view. The Hellwig comes in two sizes, 27.5" and 29", from where on the attachment points is the measurement taken. Thanks and keep up the good work.

    • @ontheroadwithron2432

      The different sizes must be for different year chassis. Get the one for the ‘14 chassis. Probably same as I have.

    Hi Ron, Enjoy your video and information on changing oil on the generator. I just have a questions regarding the motorhome it self. 1) have you tow a vehicle behind your motor home? 2) if you tow a vehicle behind your motor home, what is the weight of your tow vehicle? I watch several youtube channel and still couldn't figure it out how much weight my motorhome can safely tow. I have a Mercedes Sprinter chassis same as you (3500 dual rear wheels with 11,030 LB GVWR) just a different manufacture. Thank you, Pharon

      I thought this might answer your question, my 2006 Mini Cooper weighs 2300lbs. I tow it behind my 2016 Winnebago View and have had very good experience .

    • @ontheroadwithron2432
      @ontheroadwithron2432  3 года назад

      I don’t tow but believe you can go up to 3500 lbs. will also need some kind of braking system for the car. Several folks tow Jeep’s for off reading.

      Air filter at 60K. Fuel filters around 30/35K miles. I did remove and blow off the air filter at my first schedule B maintenance but have not replaced it yet. 50k on RV so far.

      Seems to be typical. Most are loud close up and my mic was pointing towards the RV rather than towards me while I was speaking.

      Love your videos, Ron--your mods rule! I own an 08P. Your genny sounds exactly like mine did until the exhaust header clamp was repaired--It's worth checking. My exhaust header clamp broke and was so hard to reach that my mechanic had to leave it on there, slide it out of the way, and add a new clamp. You skipped cleaning the oil strainer screen.
