Family to RV coast-to-coast in Motorhome fueled by Biodiesel
NAMPA, ID — Some families plan their vacation routes around theme parks or hotels, but the Jenkins family is building its summer vacation around an unusual theme: the nation’s biodiesel filling stations.
The Nampa family is about to embark on a one-month, coast-to-coast trip in a diesel motor home decorated to call attention to the renewable energy source.
The Jenkins plan on filling up with biodiesel — a nontoxic, plant-based fuel — nearly every step of the way.
In fact, he said, biodiesel will burn just fine in any diesel engine.
“If you’ve got a diesel engine it’s just a matter of filling up at a different pump,” he explained.
That fuel interchangeability means the Jenkins can burn traditional diesel fuel if biodiesel is not available.
The RV’s exterior has been painted with a vegetation theme — an appropriate design, Christina Jenkins said.
