rv maintenance

I have an issue with several wall outlets in my RV and in my sticks and bricks. It Iis difficult to plug into them. They need some kind of lubrication. I see that CRC on AMAZON comes in two types. One is a Silicon Lubricant and the other is Di-Electric grease. Both are in spray cans. Which one...

Hello all, My wife and I purchased a 2020 3120RL SAILUN S637 (235/80R16)tires are original with date code (1919). I realize the tires are 7 years old. The history of use shows aprox 2500 miles since tires were new. My tire shop manager, who I trust, told me that we would be glad to sell me a...

What has anyone used to reattach loose wall paper. I am thinking of using some type of glue (ie contact cement).

Anyone have any experience with this product? I have 2 30lbs tanks and figure it would be nice to have one on the tank i use last after the auto switch occurs. Opinions? Still trying to figure out how much propane i use with this trailer. Would be nice to have something to keep me from...

2020 5.0 with factory Furrion Vision S? backup camera has a degraded image. Not just dirt on the lens, not a signal issue. This is just blurry/fuzzy with reduced contrast so feels like the lens clouded or there is condensation inside. Any way to repair? If not, any compatibility issues with...

2024 Artic wolf 27 SGS. Haven’t used the coach this year due to health issues, side it out today and both outside and one inside one rubber slides rubber is ripped and needs replaced on both sides. Only 2 years old, what the ****. Called dealer and can’t get us in for repairs for a month, then...

I have a new Coleman Mach 8 arriving Friday so today I went on the roof to start preparations for the swap with the bad unit. Unfortunately, whoever installed the air conditioner (it's not the original) used copious amounts of some type of sealant between the foam seal and the fiberglass roof...

in a resent issue of Lets RV they stated that wd40 is a lubricant, it is not, yes it will TEMPORAROLY loosen up and lubricate sticky bolts etc but, its kerosene based, it dry's up shortly after you use it, it flush's all other lubricant away from the contact points, i know this for a fact, i...

Good morning everyone, Thanks for the add. My wife and I just purchased a 2027 Jay Feather 25RB. This is our first and are super excited to start a new adventure. We have taken it out already, learned alot but do love it. Look forward to learning more through you all and hearing all your...

This is a beautiful coach and it appears to be well maintained. I'm curious about the experience others have had in terms of repairs after buying a quality built 20 year old diesel coach with this many miles.

I was given a paper from a dealer saying the Manufacturer will not honor the warranty if you don't wax and buff your rig 2 time a year! I couldn't find anything from Keystone about this, anyone have any general information to share?

Well water has stained my "Imagine" travel trailer. How to clean it? Seeking advice before making it worse! [photo 1 shows the stain. Photo 2 shows "clean" side for comparision. Photo 3 is close-up]

My wife and I are considering the purchase of a travel trailer to see the US in our retirement years. We are currently 70 years old and want to take a couple of long trips a year (3-4 weeks) and a few short trips to areas near to us in Texas. I have a 20024 F-150 XLT that is rated at around...

Hello, Has anyone who ordered a AS from the factory purchased this clear coat treatment. If so, is it worth it, or can you basically treat with aftermarket products. Usually I dont get the factory treatments but was curious if anyone had experience with this for new AS from the factories. It...

The item in the picture is an extruded plastic strip that snaps into the bottom of an arm on my Domestic 9200 awning. It's mostly cosmetic but also serves the function of keeping the power wires in place when the awning is moving. One of mine fell out. Another cracked along an edge and won't...

Hello all, By way of introductions, my name is Nick, and it's very nice to be here with all of you. My family (wonderful wife and 4 incredible boys ranging from 9 to 15) live in northern Florida and were recently gifted a 2000 Georgia Boy Landau that has been sitting a while. The engine still...

The top front corner of our living room slide hangs up when opening and it looks like I could 'easily' relieve this by shifting the slide rearward about 1/8". I didn't find any posts about this particular adjustment with a search and the technical part of the Alpine site is still offline. I...

I've got a small trailer with a small black tank and empty it after all short trips. Is it worth putting in the liquifiers for weekend use? Single week use? How fast do they work? I know it says "immediately" on the label of Green Gobbler, for example, but is that really the case? Thanks.

Has anyone installed a siphon vent on their vent pipe to pull odors up and out?

I watched Tom C's excellent video on bolt issue, checked mine and 6 of 8 bolts were loose. Appears someone replaced them and put a lock washer on them. Im going to take all out, one at a time and add thread lock. Red scares me, I'm thinking blue and checking them often after tirqueing them. I...

My awning is beginning to show signs of wear. The LED lights in the roller tube are fed by a wire which I believe is sewn in the hem of the awning. I priced a replacement that was over $1200....oof. Can anyone say if replacement awnings have a hem on the edge that a wire could be fished...

There’s so much anecdotal discussion of which black tank treatment is “best” I was glad to see this excellent scientific comparison from Fit RV. Note, this is comparing them for cassettes, not black tanks so the information needs to be looked at through that lens. Cassettes are dumped far more...

Is there a better way to replace them without the whole spacer thing I see on YouTube? I need to replace the front ones. Looks like someone did the rear ones. I just need to get one of the rear springs back on after the pad slipped off of the the wood I had put under it. I felt like I was very...

We recently stayed in a campground with lots of squirrels in the area. We have found out the squirrels chewed into our electrical wiring, our gas lines and our hydraulic line which controls our levelers. It is going to cost between 1,500-2,500 to get the hoses replaced. Does anyone have any...
