He mentioned removing EPA related stuff on a possible diesel. His town is Des Moines. Do they smog test in that area? If he does a delete, he will likely have a hard time finding a tuner to remove the CEL from his dash as the gubbermint has come down on the companies selling those type tuners.

I have seen the discussion on 7.3L and heavy campers; the one he bought is 14K lbs gross so not really sure where that stands but I would be concerned about that kind of weight with any gas engine. I know 40' offers a lot of room for kids but could consider a smaller 5th wheel to reduce gross weight if it were me. But then he has already ordered the Arcadia so who knows?
