Why Did Roadwarrior develop LightningVolt™?
As commercial trucking aftertreatment specialists, we like to be at the forefront of developments and technology improvements. When we saw the potential of idle reduction to preserve the aftertreatment system, we realized two things. Firstly, improved electric APU performance means reduced idle times and less pressure on the engine and aftertreatment system. Secondly, the best […]
APU Batteries Reduce Regens Through Idle Reduction
For most commercial truck drivers, regens range from a minor inconvenience to a significant issue. But did you know cutting down on idling dramatically reduces the regularity of regens, extends the life of your DPF and DOC, and reduces fuel spending? Installing an electric APU with efficient lithium batteries is one of the easiest ways […]
5 Tips for Energy-Efficient RVing!
People are drawn to RVing by a desire for freedom and adventure, but there’s a common misconception that full-time RV life will be straightforward and inexpensive. In reality, making a success of it takes planning, preparation, research, and trial and error. Luckily, there are plenty of guides and forums to help new RVers move away […]
5 Reasons to Choose Lithium As Your Trolling Motor Battery
Trolling motors are popular among professional and hobby fishermen, allowing you to reach fish stocks at middling depths away from the shore. Trolling baits and lures at up to 9 knots, (or 15 between fishing areas), is a great way to hook salmon, mackerel and kingfish! But the continuous motion of trolling uses up a […]
Why Should Fulltime RVers Invest in Lithium Batteries?
Fulltime RVers are a small but dedicated subsection of the RV community that have given up the sticks-and-bricks lifestyle and taken to the road permanently. About half of RV full-timers maintain steady jobs while living on the road. This group has grown rapidly in recent years, partly because of the increasing number of digital nomads […]
Lithium RV Batteries and Boondocking
What Is the Best RV Battery For Boondocking? Boondocking, or dry camping, is very popular in the RV community. It means parking your RV, cheaply or for free, somewhere without the key facilities you find in developed RV campsites. These include sewage dump, clean water pumps, Shore Power access and more. The term boondocking covers […]
Regen Failure: Why It Happens and How to Avoid It
First, what is a DPF regen? A DPF regen, or regeneration, happens when the DPF burns the accumulated soot off its face to prevent clogging. Your commercial truck can carry out either passive DPF regens or active regens. The most common form is passive regeneration. This occurs while the truck is in motion when the […]
Causes and Symptoms of Black, White and Blue Diesel Exhaust Smoke
If You See Smoke: Say Something! Apart from the faint white exhaust smoke that comes from the tailpipe in cold temperatures, you should not see smoke of any colour from a post-2007 diesel engine. Your DOC, DPF and, depending on your truck model, your SCR system, filter your exhaust stream. The aftertreatment system removes toxic […]
The Modular One-Box: Breaking Down the Future of Aftertreatment
In two years as the only aftermarket replacement One-Box manufacturer, the Roadwarrior R&D team has developed our expertise considerably. We’ve expanded Roadwarrior’s design offering to include not one, but four different One-Box models. Recently, we also achieved the challenging technical feat of developing a modular One-Box. The compact, modular One-Box is one system combining […]
The Upstream Issues Behind Your Aftertreatment Problems
Heavy-duty aftertreatment systems work with your diesel engine to reduce emissions and increase efficiency. The two systems are interlinked, allowing them to work much more effectively together. However, this also means that if there are issues with one system, they can affect the other. Untreated upstream issues can damage your aftertreatment devices, which in […]
