Las Vegas Diesel Pushers RV Repair

Las Vegas Custom RV Garage services, maintains, renovates and customizes recreational vehicles of all kinds, including diesel pushers. As the name implies, a diesel engine puts this class of RVs in a category all its own. Sizes vary widely and can range up to 45 feet long.

Why Buy a Diesel Pusher?

If you are shopping for an RV, the first thing you will notice is a diesel pusher costs more than its gasoline-powered counterpart. But once you start adding up the advantages such as a quieter rider, better durability, better fuel efficiency, and greater towing capacity, the bigger upfront investment starts to make more financial sense.

This type of vehicle is called a diesel pusher because engine placement is always near the rear of the vehicle. This unique placement also gives this type of RV its biggest performance advantage over a gas-powered model, because it is far more efficient for towing and climbing hills.

One major consideration for choosing a diesel pusher is RV length. Recreational vehicles longer than 35 feet in length are extremely heavy even before you load it up with passengers and your travel gear. A gas engine is obviously able to handle all that weight but it is less efficient and requires more fuel. Despite the recent rise in diesel fuel costs, newer diesel pushers are highly fuel efficient, which offsets most of that increase.

What to Expect From Your Diesel Pusher

One big advantage of a diesel engine is the life expectancy. A diesel engine will usually last two times longer than a gas engine, but consumers should be aware that some maintenance and repair costs are a little higher than they would be for a gas-powered RV. The upside is you should be able to go about 500,000 miles before any major repair is necessary.

As far as performance goes, diesel engines have better air-ride suspension and braking systems, they provide more torque and they have a higher towing capacity than gasoline engines. Because they lack a high voltage electric ignition system, the engine is reliable, durable and readily adapts to damp environments.

The ignition system relies on the heat of compression to start the engine, which can make a diesel engine difficult to start in cold weather. Most modern RVs have heaters in the intake manifold or inside the pre-chambers to make sure parts are warm enough for a smooth start. Developments in the industry have also gone a long way toward eliminating the familiar diesel knock or diesel clatter that is a result of the engine’s ignition process.
