On a recent post a number of people have referred to noise in the mornings caused by "warming up" the vehicle before driving out of the campground. Is "warming up" a diesel requirement? I have never owned a diesel vehicle so I don't know how you are supposed to treat them. I have only ever owned petrol veh...
