What are RV manufacturers going to do about diesel emissions?
See how simple SCR isn't...
 
Roaming Times press release 5/13/2010:


Engine makers are using various means to meet enhanced emissions regulations. According to Navistar, "most manufacturers, especially those with European ties, have indicated that they be using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to reduce nitrogen oxides emissions (NOx) from tail pipe emissions. This is a technology that has been used in Europe for a number of years but has not yet been used to any extent in the automotive market here in North America.

It’s certainly not a new technology. SCR was first patented here in the United States in 1957 and has undergone development ever since. It is widely used to control NOx emissions from large stationary diesel engines as well as coal-fired power generating plants. It is, in short, a well known and proven technology."
  
Bob Carso, the director of marketing and brand strategy for Navistar’s engine group, says, “We explored both EGR (exhaust gas recirculation - see wiki below) and SCR technologies and found both to offer viable solutions for meeting the 2010 emission requirements. We made our choice in terms of what we believe to best for our customers and selected to pursue the EGR path.”


So what's the difference between SCR and EGR?   We think that in this really cool video, MaxxForce explain it very well...

Video from MaxxForce, many thanks
 
 
Wikipedia EGR: "EGR works by recirculating a portion of an engine's exhaust gas back to the engine cylinders. In a gasoline engine, this inert exhaust displaces the amount of combustible matter in the cylinder. This means the heat of combustion is less, and the combustion generates the same pressure against the piston at a lower temperature. In a diesel engine, the exhaust gas replaces some of the excess oxygen in the pre-combustion mixture. Because NOx formation progresses much faster at high temperatures, EGR reduces the amount of NOx the combustion generates. NOx forms primarily when a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen is subjected to high temperature.”


So where does Roaming Times think it's all going?  The Navistar group includes Monaco RV, Workhorse chassis, MaxxForce engines... We think the sum is greater than the parts and this will be the big influence in the diesel RV world...


"See how simple SCR isn't?"  Let's keep it simple ...

WachhobagoHubby and I just saw this floor plan in person for the first time last weekend and our jaws nearly hit the floor! Since we don't plan to "camp" much, but rather do a lot of tailgaiting, the plan works for us. We LOVE it!Re: Winnebago Outlook class C motorhome

LeahI love my new,old trailer, but it needs some tlc. Do anyone know of a front awning, that might be available. Previous owner couldn't find it. leahslocker(at)yahoo(dot)com 9/9/2010Re: Scamp small travel trailer
Colorado ScampWe decided to hold off on selling our Scamp at least for the next couple of months. 9/8/10Re: Scamp small travel trailer
Al J.I have a 1999 Bantam 19ft. Am looking 4 the front canvas. Mine is still good from the weather, BUT the inside is discolored from a leak. Any help appreciated. car3jay(at)yahoo(dot)com 9/8/2010Re: R-Vision Trail-Lite travel trailer
tumbleweedHaving had 3 Fiberglass trailers before, we knew our new RV would have a lot to live up to. We looked at least 500 TT & 5th wheels. A good friend of ours saw the Evergreen line at the Tampa show and liked them. We took friends that full time in a 5th wheel to look. We and they were very impressed. A day later we went back and bought the 30RLS-5 on the lot. After better than 12k miles, we still love our Evergreen!!Re: EverGreen Ever-Lite travel trailer

RobinThanks to all who inquired. Just wanted you to know we sold our '07 T@B Clamshell. This was a great place to advertise. Best of luck to everyone who has or wants a T@B. They are wonderful... 9/7/2010Re: TAB teardrop trailer
burdickRoof leaking again after just having it fixed two weeks ago. Back it goes to the dealer. 4th time in for same problem. Re: Great West Vans Sprinter Legend
viperUPDATE: Have been in our EGG for 2 weeks. 3 days of dry camping. have travled from Cape coral fl, to Biloxi, Missippi. It has performed well and attracted lots of attention. Problems: The roof vent fan are the std one used by every one and are cheap. One works when it feels like it(bad switch) and the other is hard to crank open and not long for the world. The Norcold fridge is great. Keeps verything Ice cold. However at 2.7 cu ft its small. There appears to be room for a larger 3.6 cu ft model and this is an upgrade that s/b made. It would alos prevent items stored under the sink getting lost under the fridge. A/C: We updated to 8000 btu unit as stated. If you plan to be in the south on the summer ever , go with the 8,000 btu unit or you will not survive. It draws no more energy. The biggest draws are the hot water heater and micro wave. The 3000 watt Honda handles everything on at the same. It idles with just the a/c on and TVs/etc. RegardsRe: Eggcamper small travel trailer
RonI have driven my 2010 Icon 10k from Tucson to Utah, Wy, So Dak Colorado and NM without any problems. I climbed several 7 & 8% grades, pulling an inclosed motorcycle trailer with my Harley. We were in it for a full 3 months and the fresh water tank should be larger as well as the real bed. I have the unit with the entertainment center above the cab. My wife and I are both very satisfied with our unit other than what I just mentioned. On a decent day at 62 MPH we get 16 miles to a gallon. Re: Fleetwood Icon class C motorhome

HooverWe bought new in 99, 19 ft Bambi, initial problems solved by buying a F250 diesel instead of V6 Explorer. It pulls great hardly know its there, but hard on SUV driveline. Towed over the biggest grades into Crater Lake, Los Angeles, Down highway 1 to Santa Barbara, up to Reno and many points in between. The bed is tough to make but sleeps 2 6fters fine, the shower is a dream, can stand up tall. Would like a bit more room, inside, and a 2 compartment kitchen sink. Sounds like I've been spoilt, is pulling the box trailers different? May sell if the offer is right Hooverdawg(at)gmail(dot)comRe: Airstream Bambi small travel trailer
