There’s a lot of confusion right now about diesel engines, DEF, and what the EPA actually changed—and in this episode, we’re cutting through the noise. We break down the latest announcement from the EPA, what it really means for diesel emissions systems, and why rumors about DEF going away aren’t exactly accurate. Plus, oil prices are climbing again, Buc-ee’s continues its rapid expansion, and there are some interesting developments across the RV industry—including a possible return of Winnebago fifth wheels, and a behind-the-scenes technology that could change how RVs are designed. ****************************** Connect with RV Miles: RV Miles Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rvmiles Shop the RV Miles Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/rvmiles RV Miles Mailing List: https://rvmiles.com/mailinglist Mile Marker Membership: https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers 00:00 Intro 01:25 How DEF and SCR Work 01:58 Deletes Limp Mode and EPA Changes 03:53 New Sensor Guidance and What It Means 06:16 Sponsor RV Mattress by Brooklyn Bedding 07:06 Oil Prices Hit Four-Year High 08:00 Buc-ees Expansion Plans 08:33 Winnebago Fifth Wheels Tease 09:30 REV Group New PDI Center 10:14 Digital Design Studio For Future RVs 11:27 Newsletters and Sign Off
