    Recent short trip in 1999 Monaco Windsor. After about 50 miles of trip the engine warning light came on. I never saw or felt any difference in the operation of the RV. Got to the campground about 200 miles later with no apparent problem. Checked everything I know to check and could fiind nothing. Drove home a week later and the light was on the entire time. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.

    I have called Cummins on warning lights. They were very helpful on what to check.

    After much help from this forum on the Ford Escape problems I have moved on to another vehicle. Ford will get it right one day. I understand this is the first year for the 6 speed transmission being used for flat towing in the Escape.

    Good information on RV.Net forum concerning Ford Escape, same issues as in this forum. However, the Hybird had favorable comments.

    I am now looking at GM's 4wd Colorado or Canyon. Still under 4Klbs. MPG not so good but 4wd known to do okay as a tow vehicle. At least haven't heard or read of any problems, yet. Any feedback on this vehicle?

    Again thanks to all for the feedback on the Ford Escape.

    This is good info. Thanks.

    I personally like the vehicle for no towing restrictions, speed etc... The weight is okay and the mpg acceptable for everyday use.

    Will address the dip stick with my local dealership and provide an update.

    Transmission probably set for failure sooner or later if dip stick was the cause whether you were towing or not...

    Follow up... Local dealership had no idea about possible dip stick problem let alone any towing issues.
