maintenance

I've been trying to figure out what needs to be done to maintain the roof on my Hybrid. As you can see in my signature, it's a 2017 Shamrock 23WS. I've been trying to research this topic but it seems there are a lot of different roof materials used on different campers but I don't find much...

I have a 2021 Forest river Cherokee Wolfpack 23 pack 15. The trailer was in and out of the shop multiple times for various reasons since purchasing brand new in September 2021. This is my first trailer and I have found out I should be draining the extra water in fresh water tank after each trip...

The awning on our TT is showing some deterioration at the point where it is attached to the TT and the first 1/2 turn of the roll. No tears or rips at this point. I would like to apply something to the first 6" to 8" to protect the most exposed area when fully retracted. What's your experience...

We bought out 2017 FR3 32DS last July, so we're coming up on a year. At the time, all the fluids and what not were just changed/serviced, all work had been completed that was due, and we had the thing inspected and it came back with nothing of concern. I'm coming up on an oil change and I...

Hello, This is our first travel trailer and I wanted to make sure we are maintaining this correctly. I couldn't seem to find what kind of roof we have and wanted to know what kind of sealant to use on it. Would a self leveling lap seal (dicor) work? I also see a lot of different kind of...

Rockwood mini lite trailer.. at what point would it be advisable to coat the roof with protective sealant coating..? 2 yrs , 5 yrs or as needed. I would like to be proactive and preventative instead of reactive . Dont want to wait for the roof membrane to fail. ? Thanks

Hello Screw-type Stabilizer Jack Experts ! I have a two-year old TT with standard manual screw-type stabilizer jacks positioned at the four-corners of the frame. The jacks are at the point where they've collected enough dirt and grime such that they require basic cleaning and lubrication...

Not sure if this should be here or under the slide out forum... starting here... I have a 2608BS with 2 slides. Both slides have toppers. I continue to be challenged in maintaining the slide seals. The sides and bottom are fine; I use 303 and wipe it on with a cloth. But the top... Can't get to...

I pulled my bedroom bed frame apart to fix something and the slide frame underneath has some rust. Also, the rails look like they need some lubrication, but I know sometimes that can be bad because lubrication can attract dirt. The slide has a hydraulic driven ram and two rails. Not sure...

New to me 2020 Wildwood X-Lite T197SS with a Super Slide out. Is there any required maintenance to keep it working. Also should it be a noisy event going in and out? Thanks. Mark.

I mistakenly used a silicone lube for slide outs on our Schwintek bedroom slide. And doing some more research it sounds like I should have used a dry lube. Is that something I should go try to wash off, is it a concern? Appreciate any thoughts.

Hello everyone. This is our second year with our Freedom Express 246RKS and I was wondering how often do I need to get the wheel bearings packed? I get some people that say they never do and some that do it yearly. We put gust about 2000 miles on it last year. Thanks

I just installed new house batteries on my 2016 Isata 3 (they were 6 years old!) and everything seems to be working ok. NOTE - I found out the hard way that the house battery condition is critical to the slide system working properly. I have a question on slide maintenance - the slides use a...

I’m adding a 37 gallon RDS auxiliary diesel tank to my F350. I have resisted this for quite some time as I’ve always used truck stops to fuel and in all my travels I’ve only been close to a fuel issue one time. I resisted due to giving up space in my truck and justifying the $$. But now with...

Hello, I took our 2021 Transcend 297 QB in for service before the warranty expired. The 12v DC refrigerator stopped working in October and the grand design tech support opened a ticket on NOV 6th. Of course the dealership couldn't take it until DEC 16th. I called in early February to check on it...

What maintenance should I seek for a Flagstaff Super Lite Travel Trailer (26FKBS)? Should I attempt to schedule this at the chain where we purchased it? Or can these tasks be accomplished by the local RV tech who frequents where we are encamped for the winter? My wife and I have owned this RV...

New owners of a 2009 34SATS. No known leaks or problems. But, wondering what the appropriate roof maintenance is and how often it should be done. I am up in years and do not do ladders well so will have to hire the projects out. Simply wanting this info to make it appear that I know what I am...

Subject is the Level-Up pump assembly 196471. The pump assembly sits in a flat metal bracket that is bolted to the mounting arm that is welded to the drivers side frame rail. Since there are many reports of the welds on the mounting arm failing I had added this check to my chassis inspection...
