maintenance

Thoughts on using 3-IN-ONE® RV care Rubber Seal Conditioner on the seal of the flush valve. Really don't want to have to replace that seal in the near future.

I think my front A/C unit may be failing. Can anyone tell me what the temperature differential between the ambient (input) air and the output air should be?

Thinking of painting the black plastic cover on my two Coleman MACH roof units to "white" thinking it may be more efficient than black cover. Anyone done this? Plenty of plastic aerosol paints available to do this. Or would it be a complete waste of time? Roof membrane is white already.

2025 Classic - the folding support for the bottom step is so sticky the my wife can't even move it and it's all I can do to fold it up. What sort of lubricant should be used on this, and why is it so hard? Is it galvanic corrosion? It used to fold easily...

Greetings, been years since I've posted here and the wife and I still marvel at our year long travel pics around N America. Now we're anchored in a great RV park, in a 94 Prowler park model in VG condition, it's waterfront and she had to have the view. She got the view, I got the maintenance and...

We are selling our 5th wheel and doing research on a small class C with the Merceds diesel engine and chassis. We are experienced RVERS but don’t know what we don’t know about the Mercedes engine and Sprinter chassis. Looking for input on Pros, Cons, known problems, etc. Thanks in advance...

I tried opening my awning on my 2022 Imagine 2600rb. I pushed the extend button on the control panel and just keep getting a click noise. So I got the ladder and loosened the manuel nut on top of the awning arm. After only a few turns I tried the extend button again and it worked. Ran it in and...

No not a tire. There is a small section of my roof that has a low spot in the flat roof. This is about a two foot square area. I can walk on the spot without any give or spongey feeling so I'm not thinking a damaged or wet area. But it does pool water when it rains and the rig is sitting level...

How many DP owners start & shut off the engine many times a day? This just a curiously question not a put down if you do, or you don't do this...Thanks for your time.

Hi All, Around Memorial Day weekend I purchased my first motorhome a 1999 Ford E-350 RV 7.3L Diesel built by Sportsmobile Texas in 1999. The last owner - a retired senior couple had this motorhome from 2016, and they used this for occasional camping. Since they were occasional campers and...

I’ve been in the DX3 since late 2018 but lately decided to revisit how I am using DEF. Since the beginning I have used DEF at the pump but lately have run into potential “quality” issues with that process. Since one of the things a DEF head monitors is fluid quality I want to pay closer...

People often say that you only need two things to fix issues around the house: duct tape to fix it if it moves and shouldn't or WD-40 if it should move but doesn't...

Hi All, Last week I purchased a 1999 Ford E-350 RV 7.3L Diesel built by Sportsmobile Texas in 1999. The last owner - a retired senior couple had this motorhome from 2016, and they used this for occasional camping. The camper is in good state and there are a few points that need to be addressed...

Hello all! Not sure which forum this belongs in, and searching didn't find anything similar. I would like to be able to do my own tire rotations on our Sprinter 3500XD which is weighing in at about 11,000lbs with full build-out. The idea of putting the entire rig up on four jack stands is...

Foot note on my 2017 F250 King Ranch with 195K miles..took in for service before our trip even though had about 1500 miles left before oil change. Had some other issues I needed to have checked out: "check engine light", and brake check (buffeting) yesterday...after Ford was done with the...

Hello, I own a 2014 Jayce Jay Flight 24fbs. I need to replace the bathroom outside skylight but do not know what size to order. Could you please give me some advice on the size to order and where to order the part from. Thanks!

I ran a search on this but did not find an answer. Our 1970 Overlander's door drags on the bottom sill; the hinge pin is quite loose and I'd like to replace it. I have not found a source; does anyone know of one? Thanks for any guidance!

We have read about many incidents with the tempered glass stovetop cover shattering. Naturally, ths concerns us because we have one of these covers. It seems that these incidents occur out of the clear blue with no warning. I think one member here stated they forgot to raise the cover before...

Hi I bought myself a 1998 Itasca Spirit. I am embarrassed to say that I bought her with out an inspection. I think she is in good shape but I have come to realize that the previous owners were kind of ignorant to rv life and maintenance. My plan is to be out on the road boondocking for 6-8...

Pop is 91 and we just put him in Assisted Living. I am his son-in-law and have been tasked with selling his 1965 Trade Wind 24 ft trailer. As long as I have known him, the Airstream has been sitting in his driveway beside the garage. I believe the last time he took it out was about 20 years...

I just installed a new slide out motor on the passenger side bedroom slide out. Everything went great with installing the motor and trans torque bushing. Slide goes in and out with no problems. The original motor before it quit working amped out when fully retracted or fully extended. The...
