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 read "War and Peace" faster than I can find where, if any, is the crankcase ventilation filter in the Cummins operators manual. Anyone change one of these?

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...

I had my 2015 ace 30.1 for just over a year now, and am just getting to the electrical junk under the bed. Everything in my rig works (cept for the passenger side 12v recpt. And the 110 hot water ..but..) I am an electrical fella, so I am looking forward to straightening things out in there. I...

When it comes to maintenance this is an item that everyone will overlook for the most part until the dreaded day occurs. Someone will be following you and informs you you have a brake light out or perhaps your reverse light is no longer functioning. You take this bit of information all in stride...

I am trying to replace my rear camera and add wiring for some USB plugs in the back of my 2015 23. Does anyone know how/where the wires are physically run? I have taken some panels out, and found the harnesses under the microwave and stove, but they just to into the counter and/or wall. I...

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...

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...
