nothing in particular other than hang onto your wallet when you fill it up with diesel. my 90 had a 311 gallon tank
my 02 has a 235 so doesnt seem as painful at the pump

Welcome Texasnewcomer! James' rule of thumb is expect at least $5,000/day at Camp Newell. That's our experience anyway. They do a great job. Won't let anybody else touch our coach. You will find that the gurus are awesome!
