Anyone have some recommendations on repairing/patching full body paint cracks...typically found at wall/bumper edges and transitions? I've been told the cracking paint does not mean that water is getting in where it shouldn't but I hate the look and would like to keep my unit looking clean...

Just got back from a weekend at Talladega Super Speedway. When we arrived on Friday, I turned on the AC and nothing was coming out the vents. The AC unit was running, just no air. Although it wasn't a hot weekend, we did have our dog with us, and we didn't want to leave her in the camper...

Ok we will be at Amish Family RV Repair in Topeka IN Nov 6 through 10th. Getting a 2nd new roof. We have our walk around Nov 7th fix date 9 and 10th. We are staying at Indian Lakes Campground but will need a hotel probably two nights any close recommendations?

Hi All, A few months back I posted a question about a problem with my Main Slide. Just to update everyone I found a reputable place to go to have it fixed.The slide was making a loud "banging" noise coming in and out. Attached is a picture of the gear that was changed. I brought it in this past...

I own a Sierra 378FB. Two items, please: 1) There is a valve located in my water service area and I don't know what it is for. It's located on the bottom, right side of the water service area. Any ideas? Should that valve be open or closed when I winterize my unit? 2) How do I replace the...

We are en route from San Antonio, TX to Ottawa, IL... our rear slide motor is going. Since we will be there a week looking for a mobile repair tech in the area so we can get it fixed before the trek back. Unfortunately I 2020 we had this issue with the front slide motor so we know we would...

I have a 2022 Rockwood fifth wheel. Recently discovered the wardrobe slide has cracked fiberglass on the forward facing side wall of the slide box. It’s been getting worse and is now cracking in 2 spots. Keeping the slide in eliminates the risk of water intrusion, for now. I’ve taken it back...

My Rockwood 8293RKSS is now 10 years old and the vinyl roof is showing a lot of wear. I would like to apply a liquid coating to seal the roof and hopefully get a few more years out of the TT. I have looked at products such as Flex Seal Liquid and Dicor silicone white roof coating, but all of...

After some recent storms, I noticed some moisture in our cabin. It looks like there is a leak by the caulking on the front passenger side of our roof. You can see the crack, where the water was entering in the photo. I checked with a local RV place, and they said recaulking the area would be...

I'm thinking of getting scaffolding to access my ac unit while the camper is open. Just curious what others have done? Thanks

I have a 2021 Forest River GT5 34H5. I took a 855 mile trip to Florida last week and when I was within 50 miles of my destination, the ABS light came on and stayed. As stated in an older thread, the road was very bumpy and I also think it caused this. When I left to return home, the light was on...

Has anyone have a suggestion to this problem? I have a 2018 Forest river Salem FSX with a Solera roll electric awning. When I rolled it out the other day, the roll tube came off one of the arms and it spun some of the fabric loose. The reason it came off the arm is, the 3 screws that hold the...

On our outing last week, noticed water from one of the AC units dripping on to the roof of one of our front living room slide outs. It appears to be dripping from the roof membrane to the gutter on the camp side of the RV. Some of the water is making it to the end of the gutter and downspout...

Hello All, The central stem of my kitchen faucet is leaking from the base. Are there o-rings or washers that can be replaced which will fix this? I'm a newbie at fixing this stuff so forgive the rudimentary questions.

Those of you that joined, is it worth it? Thank you

Hello .. anyone with a similar issue? The 21WRS has a king bed that slides out from the back. Later models put guide rails on both sides, makes sense! However, 2011 Doesn't and the side without rails has predictably sagged from vibrations, weight, etc and detached from the aluminum frame...

Hi All, Inspecting my roof and cleaning out the narrow rain gutters of my 2017 Rockwood Roo 19, I discovered this:https://drive.google.com/file/d/11sgdmMIbp5ATmeWN7f6wXBiFnuf6Q5e-/view?usp=sharing The plastic strip/insert which covers the line of screws attaching the roof is shredding and coming...

Hey everyone I have a 2011 Rockwood 8286 BHS. On our last trip I had the slide lock bars in and my wife forgot to remove them before trying to put out the large living room slide. Now large seal that is on the top of the slide that contacts the interior wall when the slide is extended ha two...

So I’m hoping a couple savy road warriors can give me some advice or guidance. I have the 2016 Jammer 3006wk Just came back from a trip down I-95 and it’s god awful. My bedroom sliding door is down off the roller track. But I think the rollers are still up in the track. I think if I...

Installed a new Solera Slide Topper about 2 years ago. Having an issue now. Nothing major but Lippert says it's "not repairable" and that I'll need to replace (e.g. give them 300-400 more dollars). Before I did that I wanted to check here since us TT/RV owners tend to be pretty resourceful when...

I have a '14 Coachman Freedom Express 21TQX (3 bed) trailer - the Entry door swing arm came out of the door and ripped off a piece of the door where it was attached. The Swing arm seems to be in ok condition, but i have no idea how to re-attach the swing arm properly. The area where it was...

I think the wire feeding my awning motor is bad. Reason for the assumption: I fiddled with the wire at some crimp points (folds in the wire), and that restored intermittent operation to an otherwise totally failed awning motor. Also, if I use my drill and partially open the awning, there's...

Can't locate the phone number for Amish Family RV Repair (Orvin) in Indiana anyone know what it is. Looking to get another new roof on my 2011 Cedar Creek Touring Edition. Had it replaced here in PA six months later was leaking and roof is a mess nee it replaced right may just drive out to...

Hello, I’ve done some reading and watched some videos on the subject. Interested in your opinions. I am looking to put together a cheap, basic kit. I have the standard sink, shower, toilet, water heater, etc. I’m not going to do the shark bite route this season. I know it is the best option...

Good Afternoon; Our Catalina hit a rock wall on the rear passenger side and now has a good dent that has damaged the wood. Does anyone have experience with repairing damage like this? Any suggestions would be appreciated. * Sorry these pictures came out sideways; I rotated them to prevent...
