    • What size Class C are you looking for and how much do you expect load in the RV. I have looked at many Class C's and found many longer Class C's to be near maxing out on weight before the owner added added the groceries. The Super C's have a heavier frame, So that said, what is your planned use. Are you going to be 3-4 hours a day, driving maybe 15,000 miles yearly. The diesel may more sense. Driving shorter distances go with the gas.  Presently, I have noticed the price of gas and diesel (with fuel card) and nearly the same, not the dollar difference not long ago A school system had several small trucks and they specially would look and spec only gas trucks that starter easily can be changed and door hinges easily replaced. Look over you what need, Modern trucks are quieter by either noise reduction in the engine or better insulation in the cab. Does the Class C have front end insulation. Clay
    • The battery has never been discharged fully and shows a full charge. I haven't taken the volt meter to it yet, but I'm sure it's at max voltage.  Thanks for the reply.    Rod
    • It's probably a bad battery - especially if it's Chinese made.   When I opened my Chinese made rechargeable fan I found the battery puffed up (a lithium polymer battery) and the amp hours much less than claimed on their advertising.  Dead battery. The manufacturer either lied or their battery supplier cheated them. The lipo batteries will die if their voltage drops below a certain point.  I suspect that, over time, they self-discharge to the point where they won't take a charge. 
    • True, but at higher elevations, fuel burns slower, negating the need for higher octane.  Go to Denver, or higher, and 85 octane will run just fine in most gas vehicles, unless they're of European origin.   Fuel is indeed getting pricey, but no more than most other things.  My grandsons, working at McDonalds, work less to drive 100 miles than I did at their age.  But, my '68 Barracuda 6 cylinder only got 17 mpg.  Fuel today is a relative bargain.
    • Makes for a cool flashlight now!   Good luck finding the problem. Lenp
