maintenance

Kia ora (Hello) from a kiwi in NZ. I am a newbie to these forums , this is my first post so my apologies if this is posted in the wrong place. My wife and I have purchased a new 2015 Flagstaff 228D pup. We spend most of our camping at the seaside and it is similar to what you call boondocking...

I have been accomplishing the preventative maintenance on my 2013 Sanibel 3500 and have a question as to what others are doing for preventative maintenance on the furnace. I vacuum all ducts as far as I can access with a vacuum cleaner. I pulled the wall in the storage compartment and cleaned...

What's on your list ? Check and seal roof seems, grease sildeout gears, spray silicone lubricant on slide seals, change oil in generator and check air filter, change water filter....

I've had the SV235RKS for a couple years now and a couple times a year I'll lubricate the slide track and rubber seals on the outside but I've never done anything with the ceiling tracks & rollers on the inside. Does anyone with a SV235RKS do any preventative maintenance on the ceiling tracks...

I'm sitting at Discount Tire and I just dropped a grand on a set of tires for the DW's and I'm not happy. I dropped a grand in here about two years ago and my failure to rotate them on schedule brought about their early demise. Between my two kids, wife and my two vehicles I'm having a hard time...

Newbie ready for winter and no more travels for a while. Had the dealer winterize and was wondering what other maintenance I should be doing. Read posts about running the generator every so often, but any other advice you could give to keep her ready for spring would be great! Thanks for your help.

Does everyone remove the battery from your travel trailer when laying up for the winter? We live in Southern Ontario and can have spells of well below freezing at times. Our trailer sits outdoors in our driveway. I am thinking if I watch the battery monitor and plug the trailer in when it...

Hey Folks, Glad I was able to find a Jayco forum. Im picking up a new Pinnacle 38FLSA tomorrow evening and pretty excited about it. Only thing I am worried about is that the dealership has gotten some pretty distasteful reviews regarding the maintenance/service department. The Pinnacle is...

Do the slideout tracks need occasional lubrication? What about the seals - do they need Armor All treatment?

After 4 years of use I decided to inspect the roof after reading many threads about people getting major water damage to RV. I cleaned all dicor with mineral spirits and then applied a new layer of dicor. May be overkill but I'd rather do this than have water damage that could cost $$$$$...

I'm new to Rockwood, but have had 5th wheels since 2005 but this one has me scratching my head. Stickers on the side of my 2015 Rockwood 2604WS caution that the slide seals must be maintained every 90 days per instructions in the owners manual. I've read every piece of paper supplied with the...

I just finished my first year of RVing and I have questions on roof maintenance. I have a 2014 class C sunseeker, fiberglass roof. Concerning caulking if there is no visible deterioration in caulking around AC, vents, etc. is it common practice to put another layer of caulk around the openings...

I recently had my scheduled oil change maintenance done by a non-MB dealership (GM where my good friend is the service manager), but they didn't know how to reset the service reminder interval. On start-up, I continued to get a wrench symbol followed by the number of days until service due (I...

I have a 2010 Sabre 31REDS and want to repack the bearings. It has the LCI SBS hubs. What are my options? I read in another section they are not serviceable ... Is this the case. If so, was Lippert thinking! Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Forest River Forums

I just purchased a 1999 Thor Tahoe Light (22CBTT) and the entire water system was disassembled due to a water leak. I'm trying to put it back together but can't seem to find a diagram showing how the water system should be connected. Does anyone know where I can find this diagram?

Recently purchased a W&P 2008 30BR. Looking for the best way to clean and maintain the metal roof, the seams, and the seals around the openings. Have a vent to replace. Want to check the seams and seals while I'm up there and give it a good cleaning. Has anyone coated the roof with a...

Just a heads up to SOLERA owners. Do a physical inspection of the front portion or your propane tank for excessive paint loss and start of corrosion. Needed to scrap, tape off, prime and repaint front half of tank. Wasn't to bad a job, but glad I got to it before to much rust compromized the...

My wife and I just purchased a 2000 21; Rockwood Roo. We have had the "traditional" trailers for more than 25 years, Terry, Nomad etc. I thought we were done, but my wife decided otherwise. We purchased our Roo from the original owner's grandson and from all we can see he really cared for the...

Picked up the coach yesterday after getting the 6,000 mile service done, also got the Onan 8K generator 50 hour service completed. Total was $786 for the two at Dallas Freightliner Upside: Dallas Freightliner has a pretty darn nice set up, good people to work with also. Downside...

I have a 2011 26 TBSS, is there any maintenance on the slide that I should be doing such as lubrication, I am aware of the caulk around the seals but should I be lubricating the gears or anything?

I''m at 3,000 miles on the odometer. I have an appointment for an oil change at an RV service center. Couple of questions: The oil change is $160.00 does that sound about right? Do we follow the same mantra of changing the oil every 3,000 miles like a car? At how many hours is the first...

I have a 2010 Roo 233S with a Dexter center slide. In looking online Dexter is out of business. I looked through all of my manuals that came with the trailer & found only 1 little 4 page sheet on the slide out. Here is what is prompting my question. Over Memorial weekend by 2 year old...

Does anyone know where I could find a general camper checklist? Things like changing filters, cleaning, oiling, and things that should be done to maintain good working order of a travel trailer? And things to look out for?

I am negotiating the purchase of a 2007 Forest River Surveyor 5th wheel but I found out that there is no end ladder and the previous owner said he has never been on the roof. On my previous Prowler Lynx I had my roof cleaned and reconditioned annually. My question is could his roof be...

So the end of July will be 1 year since I've owned my 2014 berkshire 390BH and I was wondering what y'all do for preventative maintenance, fluid changes etc... I looked on freight liners web site and I saw the 6 month inspection sheet and 12 month inspection sheet. I called my local freight...
