maintenance

How often or do dealers seal units on their lots? 2019s? How often do owners seal theirs?

What should be done to maintain the slides? We have 5. Three are on the control panel and 2 for the den are separate. Should they be greased?

Should you use any silicone spray or slide lube on gear rack ? I see different issues on this.

Hi folks, first time post. It seems this would be a place to ask or get a pointer: I have that eu7000is as the primary charging genset for our off grid deployment. I love this critter after several gensets that didn't work out well. I have kept the maintenance up except for one thing: Valve...

Have 5000 miles our 2019 369DS XL .Changed oil and filter in the V10 and generator. Greased the front end. Took 7 or 8 pumps on each fitting, not good. Has anyone else seen this lack of grease.

Happy New Year my friends Update Jan 7, 2020, on how my 2012 Georgetown XL 378TS (Ford chassis was a 2011 and Forest River finished build Oct 2012) I’m the original owner and have rolled since April 2012 all over the USA, Northern Mexico, the Canadian Maritime area all the way up to...

We have two 6v batteries on our trailer. What with all the jacking up and down to get unhitched, the batteries are seldom at full charge while sitting in storage. We do have an effective battery disconnect. There is no power available at the storage yard. There is always the likelihood of...

Hello, I am currently creating a Maintenance Checklist form in Excel. I am not the most proficient in Excel and when I am frustrated, it makes me wonder... Does anyone know of an App to help log routine RV maintenance? Here is an example of what I want: AREA - FREQUENCY-...

Just got a quote from Freightliner in Gaffney SC to do 6 mo/6000 mi maintenance. $1000-$1200. My rig only has 2200 miles on it and is 6 months old. Where do you get your maintenance done? How often? At what cost?

2012 GT 378TS with 73,000 miles. just finished a 7,000 mile trip to the east coast and back to Arizona and I now topped 73,000 miles on my baby. OK my friends being someone is asking questions about a brake job and I wanted to let you know my 2012 with 73,000 miles in now at the Ford...

Storing my 2019 Cedar Creek 36ck2 in a heated garage with concrete floor. Tires are at max 110psi. Keep in mind its been there for 12 months now without it moving. I assume it will sit another 6 months till next spring. 1. Should I lift or partially lift rv with 6 point leveling system to...

Today's problem is batteries. My XL 369DS came with 4 coach batteries and the battery box looks like a hot mess. One of the basic maintenance practices would be to periodically check the cell electrolyte level and make certain it's up with distilled water. Upon checking my batteries are mounted...

1. Is there a way to drain the air tanks. If so, how and how often. 2. The manuals that came with my coach are conflicting as to chassis & drive train maintenance. The Cummins manuals have long lists of things to do every 6 months. What services do you do and how frequently. 3. Does DEF...

Seems to me I once saw a procedure to clean to soot/dirt out of the heat chamber in the back of a Dometic refer/freezer combo. Mine isn't cooling at all. (However, my driveway has a slant that is likely involved!) Still I'd like to start with a blow down of the back parts. Thanks in advance.

My TT is now almost 4 yrs old. No leaks but I have noticed some cracking in the sealant along the seam shown in pictures. It's the seam that runs along the vertical arc joining the side of the TT to the front. Anyway, though there is some cracking the sealant is still extremely pliable...

2017 21SS. Any suggestions on exterior maintenance. Do you wax? treat rubber? etc. Thanks

My Ram just rolled over 100k miles and it’s time to do some maintenance and for some weird reason I felt the need to share the details. Having only done oil changes, 1 set of tires and three air filters so far, costs of ownership (other than gas) have been pretty low Ram 2500 6.4 Current...

We have a 2019 Cedar Creek 331K which I just finished spending several hours cleaning and sealing my my roof. I used the DICOR Cleaner and Protector. I have to say it came out pretty well. The only problem I have is the frequency that the protector has to be applied, every 5 to 6 weeks. I was...

Newbie here and my rig is a 2017 XLR Thunderbolt 413Amp. I have two ac units and is there a maintenance schedule for these. If so, what do I need to do? Preventative Maintenance as well? Thank you, StormChaser

I'm not sure if I'm in right location but here goes. As a camper we are responsible for inspecting our camper every 90 days or so. I'm checking every time I walk past it. But anyway I crawled on my roof to put that rv UV ray protection stuff when I noticed the seals and seam with the dicor from...

My two batteries both say "Maintenance Free". I've never heard of Maintenance Free 12V Lead Acid batteries. I thought you had to always make sure you had the proper distilled water level in them? It looks like there are screw caps that I can remove on these. I have not tried to remove...

I had my coach serviced and the dealer failed to reset the maintenance warning that comes on. I know it is fully serviced but I keep getting the warning that it is past due. How can I reset this myself without having to drive it back to the dealer? Please help.

Hi all Any Central NJ Ford F 53 owners out there that have a favorite Ford dealer they use? I have used the Ford commercial search feature and found a few but just thought if any of you in the area have and use a favorite? I store mine in Toms River. So far my choices are Causeway in Manahawkin...

I keep reading how important maintenance is on the slides. We have a 2018 Crusader 5th wheel with opposing slides. We purchased the recommended dry-lube and husband needs some guidance on where to apply the lube. There are gears and of course the tracks where the slide goes in and out. Can...

What are you using on the rubber seals on your slides and entrance door to stop squeaking??
