Best Cummins 6.7 Scan Tools for RV Diesel Diagnosis & DPF Regen (2024

The internet seems to give me six different answers about which scan tool actually works with my 2019 Fleetwood's Cummins 6.7L—am I missing something obvious here? Need comprehensive coverage for reading and clearing fault codes, monitoring engine parameters, and performing forced DPF regeneration cycles.

Considering several options including the Foxwell HD500, Ancel heavy-duty scanners, and various BlueFire/Inline adapters available through different suppliers. Price ranges vary significantly from budget OBD2 adapters to professional-grade diagnostic equipment.

Looking for detailed comparison of available scan tools specifically for Cummins 6.7 applications - both professional-grade and DIY-friendly options. What are the key features, compatibility considerations, and real-world performance differences between the various diagnostic solutions for this engine platform? …more

How to Replace Atwood Levelegs Control System with GAMA Electronics RF340-4PR Controller

Noticed my Tiffin Allegro Bay's Atwood Levelegs control pad has a completely blank display, won't respond to any commands, AND all the leveling jacks are totally dead. I'm looking at expensive repair options - around $400 for repair service or $3000+ for a complete Bigfoot replacement system.

I researched alternatives and found the GAMA Electronics RF340-4PR-ASL controller with HP4PR-ASL handheld pendant, which cost around $235 shipped. I customized the solution by 3D printing a switch panel with 4 DPST on/off switches and a momentary DPDT switch for jack control.

Is this type of aftermarket replacement reliable and compatible with existing Atwood jacks and wiring? I want something I can easily troubleshoot and maintain. …more

RV Oil Filter Adapter Plate: Complete Guide to Function & Installation Explained

I turned my simple RV oil filter change into a disaster when I followed a YouTube tutorial and somehow made everything worse with this "adapter plate" confusion. I've seen it mentioned for V6, V8, and V10 engines, but I'm honestly not sure what it actually does or why it's there.

From what I can gather, it might have something to do with using the same oil filter on different engine types? I'm trying to understand if this is some kind of universal mounting thing that RV manufacturers use, but I don't want to guess and mess something up during maintenance. Could someone explain what this component actually is and why RVs seem to use them across different engine configurations? …more

RV Transmission Spin-On Filter Conversion Kit Installation Guide

Nobody wants to hear that subtle whining noise coming from their RV's 4R100 transmission with a V10 engine, but here I am wondering if a spin-on filter conversion kit installation might help. My mechanical skills are about as reliable as my RV's slideouts in a rainstorm, but I keep hearing these kits make filter changes easier than finding a level campsite.

I'm seeing all these different kit options online and honestly feeling more confused than a GPS in a tunnel. Do these spin-on filters actually mount in the cooler line (which I believe is a full flow system)? I'm specifically looking for a filter under 10 microns that works with my transmission setup. Are these supposed to work alongside the existing internal filter, or am I about to create an expensive science experiment under my rig? Because let's be real - my track record with 'simple' RV modifications usually ends with me calling a professional and pretending I never touched anything. …more
