$152.99 @ Camping World. Looks interesting but I wonder what the gauges look like? Would be nice if they had some screen shots. In the picture the screen looks very small. Hardly enough room for any digital gauge? RCtime: Are you going to be the early adaptor?

Web link shows the unit. If you review the "gas" info you will get a feel for the unit. The info is in digital numbers, rather than actual gauges.

Had a scan gauge in my gas fired Mirada and LOVED it! Will be getting one of these for the Diesel Pusher. My Expedition doesn't have a gauge for boost pressure or trans temp or exaust gas temp three gauges that really let you know what your engine and trans are doing.

Those three gauges far exceed the cost of this device. Can't wait to get one.

Happy Trails

Looks good but like moisheh I think the display might be a drawback. We're using the VMSpc product. It cost about twice as much but it displays many gauges on a laptop screen. Good to see other diesel scan products coming out.

chafeekid: The gauge ( or any similar unit) can only display info that comes from the vehicle's computer(s). You may find that in a 2001 the info you seek is not available. I doubt there is an exhaust temp. sender on your MH. So no way to get that data. Different chassis/engines will show different data. More info on newer units.

Sully: You plug the cable into the diagnostic plug. That plug is usually around the steering column area. Not sure if it needs a 12 volt power source. Scangauge sells a little plastic case that holds the gauge. You mount that case to the dash or wherever. In the picture the cable looks like a phone cable. Very small.
