maintenance

Want to get some thoughts on the type of roof maintenance that I should do for our new to us 2013 2860DS. Haven't been up on the roof yet, want to make sure I do adequate maintenance. Thanks.

I ran across an article in the Sep 16 issue of Family Motor Coach magazine, page 40, titled "Testing Air Brakes". In it the author runs down a procedural checklist, albeit taken from a Spartan chassis manual, and not a Freightliner as is under my 2011 390BH. The part that caught my eye was...

Somehow I must have misplaced the info on exactly what I should be doing for maintenance on my 212hw. I keep it roof up under a camper cover I built for my old box style camper. Any help would be much appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Forest River Forums 2016 Rockwood A212HW 2000 Ford...

my dealer told me to check the water every 3 months in my 5th wheel batteries, I can't seem to open them up to check.

We found a place to store our ISATA 5 inside to protect it from the upstate NY weather this winter. There is no power available and there is no light in the storage building. I believe I need to run the Ram motor and the generator periodically to keep the batteries charged and to...

I hope this is on me. I bought a st320bh. This thing has been in the shop longer than I have owned it. To be clear it is not because of the company but the techs. The issue I have is that I live in Phoenix and I have one service dealer in my state. That dealer will get to it after they get to...

We just purchased a 2008 Forest River Wildcat 30LSBS. Our previous camper was a newer Jayco Jay Flight. We bought the Jayco from a dealer who had done all the roof maintenance prior to purchase and we only owned it about 18 months, so never had the need to re-do. After the purchase of the...

I bought a 2015, non-forest river RV less than a year ago and quickly learned the value of checking all the seals, seams, and roof for leaks, applying UV resistant caulk and self-leveling sealant in excess. Nine months and 3K in repairs later, I now own a Forest River. What else would you...

It seems there is no manual for all the things that have to be done ! What do we lube? Is there a filter on the generator? And does it need oil? Feel free to post your maintenance logs here

Hi Folks, I am dealing with the aftermath of a substantial milk spill. Though I've used pretty much every trick and resource I know, I've still got two problems I could use some help with: 1. Milk got into the fridge door seal, and though I've tried, I cannot get every last molecule of the...

I think most Georgetowns have the "house batteries" under the entrance steps. Our rig has two 12 volt batteries. If yours are like mine, certainly the cells farthest in, are hard to see inside for fluid level, and equally hard to fill to the correct levels. Anyone using sealed batteries...

My travel trailer is vintage 2012. No roof leaks , laminations, tears or anything except its 4+ years old. Has anyone got a RV Armor® installed on their RV roof? Is it any good and is it a lifetime solution for my roof?

We (complete newbies) have been looking for a trailer for awhile. Our favorite so far is the HiLo, followed by the TrailManor. We've found a 24' 2000 Towlite that looks to be in good shape. The main concern we have is ongoing maintenance, especially since the company (from what I understand) is...

How do I reset the Maintenance warning info on the dash? Also, where the heck is the diagnostic link connector for a scanner on the 2015 24R? Thanks.

We have a new to us 24HFS that we purchased from a dealer about 2 months ago. What type of roof does this trailer have and what product should I be using to clean/protect it. It looked like Walmart had some cleaner/conditioner, but know there should be better stuff out there. How often should...

After taking our rig out a few times now, I hear different squeaks and rubs and groans each time we extend and retract our wall slide. I have to think there is some tender loving care that must come along with having that wonderful giant wall slide. Any advice from fellow 2400W owners or the...

The Sprinter service rep at my last visit to a service center was telling me it might be in my interest to extend my warranty for two years to cover the possible breakage of the catalytic converter which would cost over $1,500. Has anyone experienced replacing their catalytic converter on this...

Was surprised on our way to Traverse City RV resort the amount of people pulling boats that we're having issue ...do they not understand bearings need maintenance? We service ours each time we head out and even this past time we had all the tires balanced and tested...

I am tied down at a friends place in Nikiski, AK so we went over to his hanger to work on our units. Changed oil and rotated tires on my truck. Changed oil and replace all four shocks on his 97' Bounder 5.9 Cummins pusher. Just two old retired master mechanics working on our toys. He has a...

Last winter, we bought a new 2016 Wildwood BHBS and the rv dealer has been keeping it in storage for us. We never looked at the roof covering or the slide roofs It is in Forida and we are in NC. Can anyone tell me what the roof is made out of and what the maintenance on it is ? Also...

I have a Coachmen 300 bhs. Its new, got on the the dealer lot last April I got it in October of last year. I've washed it a couple times but what/how do I protect it? I know how to caulk the seams but do I put a UV blocker on it or what? co worker told me he used 303 Aerospace for his and I've...

Greetings from Corpus Christi, Texas where everyone has their own sauna--just step outside. The forecast for today is 101 degrees with 87 percent humidity. Definitely a bad hair day, even for us bald guys, which leads to my question. I have a 2014 MicroLite 21FBRS. Do I need to perform any...

I am completely new to the Pup scene having just purchased a Premiere 2316g. Should I disconnect the battery altogether between trips and set calendar reminders to top off? How often? Should I leave the battery hooked up and leave it hooked up to the 6v/12v charger I have? What's best for the...

How often should I lubricate my scissor jacks and with what product?
