maintenance

I have a 2010 Solera with fiberglass roof. I read the threads about cleaning the roof. I used the Bleach and water mixture and the Dawn/water mixture. The roof came out looking so much better. Now what should I do? I think some people recommended wax and others mentioned Dicor. Thanks. Tom

I'm getting ready to do the basic maintenance on my Cummins-Onan RV QG 3600 LP generator, Model: 3.6KY-269120R, Spec: R. Cummins lists the parts needed (air cleaner 0140-3280, spark plug 01267-0275), but two oil recommendations: 10W30 or 15W40. Question #1 - which oil is better for year-round...

We are looking to buy a cleaner / sealer for our new roof ( PVC membrane) i believe is what is on the camper. Suggestions?

Hello, We received a message from our 2021 Ford F150 that our trailer (2021 GeoPro by Rockwood G19FD) needed service. I am sure it is based on the number of miles that it has added up towing the trailer. I couldn't find anything about the maintenance of the trailer other than the individual...

Hi All - I had my 2014 Escape 19 in for repairs of the AC (was not cooling, they think it's the temperature gauge) and the shop offered a free check of the seals. They then called that both the roof and the side seals need repair which includes scraping the existing seals off and replacing them...

Hi all, Background This is our first year owning/staying long-term in an RV. We live in the Pacific Northwest and therefore seals are super important. We've had temperatures in the high 80s lately Main Questions: How do I tell if a seal needs to be redone? Or do you just redo them all at...

They just created this document and sent it out. PS: PLEASE play close attention to their section on the Diesel Particulate Filter, starting on page 8. They seem to be very adamant about this.

Yesterday I went to grease and oil my 2004 Rockwood Freedom 2280 popup using the thread response by f5moab (https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f9/12v-motorized-folding-camper-winch-60970.html) and wanted to post some observations and ask a question. The zerk fitting in the front bottom...

Sit down and take a deep breath :) The prices are for parts and labor plus 6.75% sales taxes. 2019 F53 V10 22,000 GVWR chassis with 19,900 miles and bought new. Short version: $7,300 or $1,500 a year average BUT $900 of that was "product improvements" I wanted (Centramatics, Borg Dually...

We attended FMCA's 108th International Convention & RV Expo in Tucson, AZ, last week. One of the seminars we attended was on Cummins Maintenance and Operation. The seminar was given by Cummins. It was an excellent presentation (file attached). The presenter also provided one-page laminated...

Hi! Looking to replace the grease seals when I repack the wheel bearings on my 2017 Reflection 303rls. Any chance anyone knows the grease seal sizes I’ll need?

Hello, I am a first-time RVer and just got a used 2022 Forester 2351LE. The RV is currently winterized. I am having the service center summerize it which I was told is just flushing the anti-freeze out of the lines. Since I am a new owner and it's the beginning of a season, what other...

I recently obtained quotes from a local fiberglass shop I've worked with below to have a ceramic coating (Glidecoat standard or Alpha Graphene) applied to our Escape. The Alpha Graphene is about $600 more, but they said the standard is good for 1-2 years and Alpha Graphene will last 3-5 years...

Since i live in frigid Wisconsin, I will store my MotorHome inside over the winter. Is it a good idea to maintain my batteries by leaving the Shore Power connected, or are Battery Maintenance systems (such as a NOCO Genius system) a better approach? If I go the NOCO route, is a 1A system...

Hello friends, I was wondering what (if any) maintenance should be performed on my Suburban furnace. I usually disassemble and clean the Dometic fridge burner area once a year, and I do the same to the Water Heater. I never touched the furnace, but I’m sure *there is* maintenance/cleaning to...

New to me 2016 Forester Sprinter. If plugged into 30 amp at home, is that all that is needed to keep chassis battery charged for a few months? Also rig has original Chassis Battery after 7 years. Time to replace I assume? Pete 2016 Forester 2401R Sprinter 3500

2021 Berkshire 34B As we get more acquainted to our coach, we have more questions. Questions are from the Forest River Maintenance section that we are looking at. 1) 6 mo, clean toilet filter? Does this unit have one? 2) 12 mo, apply reconditioner to slide room wiper seals and bulb...

I would like to know what other Dynamax owners are using for the interior wood maintenance. I have the cherry wood in our 34LX..Thanks

I recently purchased a 2XPower AGM battery. I own a Charge It 4520 battery charger. The Owner's Manual states under the heading BATTERY CHARGER FEATURES "The final stage in the charging routine is a maintenance mode that allows the charger to be connected indefinitely to a battery and maintain a...

Hello, I own a 2022 XL 40C and just finished a 3 months road trip. We had a great time. However, I have misplaced my owner's book and can't find the maintenance intervals for the Motorhome. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any good information, maintenance plans, ideas, or a digital...

For those of you who are list makers, you may appreciate what I am trying to accomplish, but I figured others may like the information as well. Perhaps I make an ongoing list of maintenance items you all like to do yearly and people can pick and choose from that list the ones that apply to...

My Forest River trailer owner's manual mentions the "toilet flush ball" requires routine cleaning and lubrication using silicone spray. The Thetford component manual for the toilet itself has no mention of this routine cleaning or lubrication. I do not see anyone talking about this on the...

We just got back from our first big road trip with our 2023 Rockwood 2608BS (5 National Parks, 2 National Monuments, 5500+ miles driven!). Made a list of little items to be addressed with our dealer (still under warranty) and proceeded to wash the grime and bugs off the camper. Anyway, upon...

Hello, we are new to RV'ing. We have recently purchased a 2018 2600RB. We were told it was only taken out a couple times before a family member purchased it Aug of 22. It sat in his driveway until we moved it to storage in Oct. It's basically been stored since then. We finally have all the...
