Rincon Truck Center has just added another fine line of diesel particulate filters: HUG Filter Systems, just approved by CARB for installation on non-EGR, 1991 to 2006 engnies between 100-600hp (CAT ACERT and non-EGR engines with NOx certification rating

As with all Hug filter systems, mobiclean R advanced uses an enclosed, catalytic coated substrate. Only with this kind of enclosed filter system can an efficiency of soot reduction of 97% be achieved. The substrate’s base material consists of silicon carbide.

In addition to the mobiclean R basic, the mobiclaen R advanced is equipped with a preoxidation catalyst. This allows regeneration starting at a low 210 degrees Celsius. Contact us today for a pre-installation compatibility assessment.

CARB Truck Stop – Truck Stop will tell you the regulations that apply to your company.

MOTORHOME TIPS:

• A roadside repair kit is always a good thing to have for those just-in-case times. Items would include: all pertinent fluids; oil, coolant, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, spare engine belt(s), spare hub cap kit for wheel bearings, wheel seals for front and back axles (wheel seal replacement should only be performed by a professional repair facility, but having the parts with you will save time when you are on the road), and a good set of hand tools.
• Owners of coaches should have the engine and generator serviced every 6 months at least. If you only use your coach once a year or less, change the oil and filters at least once a year.
• A good way to cut down the cost and time consuming breakdowns on vacation is to have a motorhome inspection done at least a month prior to your trip. Some motorhome parts are difficult to obtain in a timely manner.
• ALWAYS check tire pressure before every trip! Tire pressure specifications are located on the VIN data tag, normally located near the driver’s seat.
• The rubber used in tires only has a 6-year shelf life, your tires may still look great but the rubber may be breaking down and that is a blowout waiting to happen.
• Having problems getting the main engine started due to low batteries? Try starting up the generator and letting it run for about 20 minutes, then press and hold the battery boost switch to get the engine going. (note: some coaches will not have a battery boost switch)
• If you don’t store your coach in a covered storage area, solar panels can be a great alternative to leaving it plugged into shore power and is less harmful to the house batteries.

Rincon Service Department Hours:

Monday – Friday

7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Fleet owners are not required to inspect vehicles that are power by diesel engines until their fourth model year (example: 2010 year engines must have their test completed by January 1, 2014.  A 2010 model year engine must be tested sometime during 2014 or it will be in violation of PSIP).

Heavy-duty diesel-powered vehicles that are not part of a fleet or are exclusively for personal use are exempt.

To ensure compliance, ARB will randomly audit fleets’ maintenance and inspection records, and test a representative sample of vehicles.
