Jon is right about stocking filters and such. If you have any kind of truckers directory, you can call ahead of your route to the different truck stops and confirm pricing and filter availability. The problem in the past with DD's was the availability of the right type of diesel oil. Camping World and a lot of truck stops did not carry oil for the DD's. I always carried extra filters and enough oil for a change. I would take advantage of Napa Auto Parts whenever they would run the 1/2 off specials and buy two sets of all filters. Napa would usually run a big special on oil at the same time.

I keep a list with me handy of the shops that do this kind of maintenance in case the need for service arises.
