Would like to know what type of motorhomes may be going with the Trekoftheamericas July 2013 expedition to South America. I have a 7.3 diesel chassis mount and would like to share spare parts, or maybe change my motorhome prior to the July date. It is advisable to carry extra parts, and great if several others have the same vehicle requirements.

I also know there is at least one Mercedes Sprinter going on the trip.

What year is your MH? How are you and others dealing without low sulfur diesel? We went on a quick wine tour in Mexico last year but had to make it on one tank since or '07 Sprinter needs low sulfur diesel.

Jon is correct. Most 2007 and newer diesels require ULSD which is not available south of the border. But all diesels before 2007 are fine for the trip.
