Original owner of a 2009 Beaver Rome IV with a Cat C9 with 22,000. At 4.5 years Cat replaced Turbo and DPF under warrantee and re-engineered the DPF using one from a C13. Just had another Turbo failure, Cat South Carolina replaced that and needs to clean the DPF, hopefully that is fine... This will be my cost and wondering if I should make a big deal of that with Cat. Regardless, wondering if it's our engine or lack of procedure for stops and starts. So it would be helpful if I can get a simple direction on starts/stops. i.e. thinking when RV is sitting start 5-minutes, 20-minutes high idle, 5-minutes low idle then shut, monthly. For driving runs, 5-minutes warm up before going and 5-minutes cool down after the run, regardless of short or long run. Delighted if someone knowledgeable advises on the fear of continuing with this RV and/or start/stop procedure please. Thanks!
