maintenance

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??

Thanks to Hurricane Michael have been living in the camper and running the AC pretty hard for months. What maintenance should I do other that the usual filter cleaning? Thanks

I have a 2015 31KQBTS, is it ok to walk on roof to clean and do maintenance? I'm using Camco cleaner/conditioner and a soft brush. Black dots on on some seams and edges? Concern?

Hi all! I just spoke with a Lippert tech concerning Schwintek maintenance. I wanted to gauge forum reactions on what I was told. He advised me that the motors themselves need no lubrication but the rack can be lubricated with CRc dry lube. I also asked if they recommend rubber conditioners for...

Since many of our units have Superflex Roofing from Alpha Systems I thought this would be a good share.

I saw this on Facebook and thought I would post it up here. It was written by Gene & Lisa. They had a water leak in the dining room slide on the door side. They traced it to the windows weeping system was dirty and allowing the water to get in behind the wall. I have only two windows like this...

The overhead exhaust fans in my DX3 were looking a dirty so I decided to do some cleaning before we went to the June rally. I finally figured out how to get the screens off - the plastic ring felt like it was going to break but it finally came off. I removed the fan blade unit from the one in...

Hello fellow RVers, My wife and I are planning a one-year long trip across the US and Canada, leaving home in October (2019). The initial planning calls for a 10,000 to 12,000 miles road trip. This kind of voyage will require that I have some periodical mechanical maintenance done (such as oil...

Hello all, We have a 2018 2401W MSB with a fiberglass roof. Is there anything special I need to know about maintaining and walking on it. Thanks in advance!

In a few days I will take delivery of a new 2018 (leftover) T21TBHW. I have read every actuator post on the forum and so am conversant with the issues. Since this unit has been sitting on the dealer's lot for awhile (in Iowa), I'm simply going to assume there is water and perhaps rust inside...

I like how Winnebago makes them available for free although I'm certainly up to buying them as well. Thanks, Ray

Hi everyone Looking for some opinions? Me an my wife recently bought a 2017 Wildwood 31KQBTS, it is a used model. My question is after cleaning my epdm roof should I apply a sealer. Here is what the roof looks like without it being cleaned. Hopefully I uploaded the images correctly. Thank you in...

Just did my spring Maintenance, getting ready for a short trip next week. Packed wheel bearings, checked battery water, sanitized water tank, lubed slide outs including seals and slides, new anode in water header, changed tpms batteries, torqued wheels, and checked tire air pressure. Anything...

What is your preference for maintaining your batteries while your vessel is not in use? Do you use a small solar panel to trickle charge it or do you disconnect the battery(ies) from the trailer and charge them elsewhere? Please share your hows and whys...

How often do you check levels and add distilled water to your coach batteries? They are under the steps at the entrance. Hard to get access. Do you have to unattach everything and take them out, or is there an easier way to check and add water. I’ve had my RV (2019 FR MBS) for six months and...

I am looking for a mobile repair company that will come to the house and service my Wildwood TT. I'm having some ongoing electrical issues and I want to get some general maintenance done. If I had the time, I'd do it myself. I'm almost at a point that I've spent so much time online trying to...

Just bought a used Cherokee 264L. Never had a slide. What maintenance should I perform?
