maintenance

Does anyone know if the factory chassis battery is maintenance free or needs distilled water occasionally. It's not the easiest thing to get at under the driver's side floor.

Here I am again, folks, with another crazy question. My hubby wants to check the tire pressure in the rear tires of our Thor 23TR, but we didn't find any valve stems. How is it done?:facepalm:

I'm about to buy some items for exterior maintenance. Curious to see what RV specific items people are using on these coaches. I figure lambs wool attachment on a pole is a good place to start. What length extension pole do you find adequate? Any specific one you recommend? I would like to...

We purchased a 2516G last summer, are very satisfied and plan to use the camper for years. With that in mind, I have been doing routine maintenance. I have seen complaints about the electric winch making a lot of noise and having a short life. Is there routine maintenance to be done on the lift...

My DX3 came with a tag that recommended treating the slide seals every 90 days. What is used to condition the seals?

Just curious what others with slide outs think. I contacted Lippert during a slide out issue now fixed. I was told that the slide outs should be operated once a week (another said every 2) to keep everything running smooth, lubed etc. It sounds like a good idea but also using them that way seems...

We used our 2017 Cardinal 5er about 5 or 6 times has about 5000 miles on it, :campfire: Out of warranty On our way home last time from visiting our daughter in Flagstaff my DW said that doesn't sound good (pulling out of the fuel stop) she heard something scratching she said. I...

Thinking of doing my first 20,000 mile service myself due to cost from Mercedes dealer. Is that a bad idea? Any hints or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Mikeee

Anyone ever do any maintenance on their slide tracks as far as lubrication? I never have but just wondered if it is plausible to put some kind of lubrication or graphite on the slide tracks to make them operate smoothly.

Just saw on the news, WESTBOUND span will have intermittent lane closures thru November. https://www.thetimesherald.com/story/news/local/port-huron/2018/05/18/blue-water-bridge-work-cause-lane-closures/616940002/

OK, I've watched enough You Tube videos about rubber roof maintenance to make my head spin. The conclusion I've come to is two fold. (1) I should clean and protect the roof periodically with Dicor products. (2) I should eliminate worry about leaks from the very beginning by applying...

I just discovered a great source of do-it-yourself RV maintenance videos from Forest River's website that I think every RVer should check out. Here is the link: Videos by Forest River RV Check it out! I think they are great!

2008 Cardinal been is storage 1 and 1/2 years. Cleaning up for trip. Operated AC and seems to be cooling however wandering if there are filters or some cleaning that should be done?

As a relative newcomer to the RV lifestyle, I've learned a ton on this forum. Lately I've been reading a lot about wheel bearings and axle lubrication. Simple question.....how soon and how often on a new trailer should I be considering routine maintenance on these items? Got the...

My wife and I have a Coachmen Catalina Legacy 263rls. What maintenance is needed to assure that slide continues to work properly. Do you grease the slide, oil or other. This is a new unit bought last year. We are taking a extended trip this summer. Thanks

This may be a stupid question, but has any DX3 owners previously owned a Forester, that could give me an idea of the difference in the cost of ownership, yearly maintenance, etc.?

The previous RV's that I have owned have either had EPDM or a smooth fiberglass surface. Now that This coach has 12 years of use the roof surface seems to be a little dull. I have not been able to find any specific maintenance instructions on how to care for this textured fiberglass material. I...

Hi everybody. I purchased a 2013 Roo 23 iKSS and I need advice on roof maintenance. Also, what is the roof material? Thanks... Check that. It’s a 2015.

I am calling Freightliner Help, 800-385-4357 and am on hold. Already talked to one rep after going through their phone menu: “for an RV, yes; new or existing issue, new; hold for next rep”. That rep said oh yes, same chassis but you have to talk to someone else for RV’s! My questions I...

I've got a 2012 27hfs XLR. I can't find anything on maintenance on the garage bed that comes down from the ceiling. Does anyone know if it's ok to wd40 the chain. Or any other maintenance I can do to this system. I use the garage for my living room while wintering in Texas so it's gone up and...

Hi guys just wondering if anyone has a written maintenance plan for the fr3 ie. how and when to grease the slides or spray the seals that sort of thing

Good evening hope everyone is doing well. So I replaced a marker light housing and the had a bead of clear silicone around it. So my question is what type of silicone do I need from hope depot. Want to use decent product and the right kind #2 my trailer is 2 years old, stays outside in the...

Heading into our third season and dealer suggesting we should annually have refrigerator, water heater, A/C, heat etc. checked and annual maintenance done. How often do you have these appliances etc. checked? For what it's worth I meticulously clean the camper after each trip, wipe down...

I am a new owner of a 303RLS and am as green as you get. I am wondering if any of you experienced folks have created lists that detail out procedures you follow when doing anything from hitching up to, cleaning fresh water tanks, any miscellaneous maintenance tasks, pretty much anything! My...
