maintenance

Ok, I guess I could overlook the gap left when Dicor beads overlapped at the junction of side and front; leaving a gap where they didn't settle (It developed a drinking problem and the front cap got all wrinkled up about it.) I guess I could overlook the leak around the clearance light, since...

When I was young it seemed important to get things done yesterday! Probably no wiser now, but a lot less energy and urge to complete projects immediately! After buying a new truck 3 weeks ago, instead of a used one, I didn't expect to have the $$ for a camper until autumn, but a 1999 Hi Low...

I have dual deep cell batteries in my 2016 Hawk. When in storage, what is the best method of maintaining their integrity and extending their life? I have been leaving them plugged into shore power with the main powers silver knob near the fuse box pulled out. Any advice from the electronic...

Hello all, my first post, hope it is helpful. New to us TT...have used it several times. Had a problem 2 trips ago with the generator charging the battery and powering the 110v side of the electrical system...makes sense right? One won't work w/out the other. Checked generator output, checked...

I have a two year old Splendide Washer/Dryer combo unit model number WD2100XC. I have been noticing over the past few weeks it's taking longer and longer to get things dry and then I started getting error messages. The unit would stop working during the dry cycle and I had to flip the breaker to...

There's probably an answer to my question out there but darned if I could find it. We bought a 2012 Sunseeker 2250 on a Chevy 4500 with the 6.0L Vortec engine in October. It only had 10,200 miles on it and we've added another thousand to it since then. I'm not sure what the maintenance...

Hello Friends, To keep the tires on your coach last as long as you could or last as long as it should, you need to make sure you have good front end alignment, well-balanced tires and rotate your tires frequently. That said, how often do you perform those above tasks on your tires? And, How...

I know there is info about oil changes & filter changes on this site but cannot find any info on changing spark plugs. I have a 2013 Onan 5500 and am trying to do all the maintenance now.

We have a Dometic awning on our popup. The poles are starting to slip harder than when they were new due to aging and probably oxidation. Other than simply wiping them to keep them clean, has anyone use a lubricant/ preservative to keep them sliding? I was thinking of wiping them and applying...

what is recommended for rubber slide seal maintenance. This is for the closet slide on 2604 ws...( if the would make any difference ) Also the first 3 inches of rubber tube under topper on the living area slide is off the track. Any advise! Any other slide hints appreciated...first unit with...

I have a 2015 Flagstaff TT that is in the beige and brown decor exterior. Much of the dark brown and black vinyl trim like the propane tank cover, exterior fridge panel, etc. gets a chalky and dry look to it and I would like to rejuvenate the look to give it the crisp dark look but find that...

So noticed water dripping out of rear wheel well and found water behind the black mesh liner. It was also torn a bit, maybe hit by rocks. Took the really flimsy trim off and found an open channel with sand and gravel up in it. Also found the caulking missing along the outside wall bottom trim...

My dealer is recommending to scrape and reseal my roof. I have had no leaking or cracks. They consider this preventive maintenance and that it should be done every three years. This is pricey, $1700. Looking for other opinions on this subject.

Hello i have a Shamrock 233s 2013 and i would like to know if someone can explain me how to take care of bearing I would like to learn how to do it Thanks

How often to you repack bearings and inspect the breaks? I bought a 2013 Used Crusader with Dexter axles but don't think this unit had much driving time on it but wondering if once a year is ok to repack bearings. I usually do less than 3500 miles per year

Opened up slides today for the first time this spring; and I took note that I have a slight rip (2 ") on the membrane seal. Also, there was a glue-like material at the very top of the seal ?? routinely, I use 301 spray followed by coating of baby powder to eliminate any adhesive factor when...

Just curious, Have only had our 2017 Shasta since last september and only been o ut in it twice, other than sleeping in it on our property. I'm not having any issues with the seals, but Id like to make sure everything stays clean..and pliable. I saw some spray stuff at walmart, is it any good...

How do you reset the oil mileage monitor? I had Freightliner in Gaffney change all fluids back in January and I guess they missed resetting the mileage counter. While driving yesterday it told me a oil change was due in 189 miles. I can't find how to reset. Travis

Hi just finished our first season of snowbirding - 3 months away to Arizona. Other than having our power converter fail, and my wife learning to chain up to go thru Oregon, all was good! (BTW our fantastic vent start squeaking, CW in Vegas said bearing was stating to go, gave me part number...

I just saw a CW ad and special for slide maintenance. Just curious what is it they do to maintain the slide. Im a DIYer, I lube the slide and just check that it operates properly. Is there much more to do? There charging $100 for a single slide so im thinking not much is getting done.

Advice, please? I have a Shamrock 21DK hybrid that I took to a local FR dealer for routine wheel bearing maintenance and brake adjustment. They called to tell me the brakes had grease in them. Their recommended resolution is replacement because attempts to get the grease out of the calipers (or...

In a sudden fit of ignorance I managed to break the drivers side wiper arm on my 2007 Hurricane 34B. It is a dual arm system with external sprayer tubing, roughly 32" arms. I would like to replace them both but have had trouble tracking them down. Any ideas where I might look, who I might call?

My Vengeance has the Equa-Flex suspension system. I want to extend the life of everything there to avoid problems down the road. Right now, the camper has 3184 miles plus the distance from the factory to the dealership in Md. Should I go with wet bolts? I see something called "never fail...

We have a 2014 FR 2701DS Class C MH. We bought it at a local dealer (Mike Thompson's RV) after looking at a lot of different "C's" at many different dealers. We tow both a car (Suzuki Grand Vetara) and a 2-horse trailer. The MH never leaves home without something behind it. We usually (95%) of...
