Maintenance Schedule

The trailer's owners' manual, while not necessarily detailing in a time frame what to check and when, generally addresses maintenance needs of the various pieces and parts. If you have all component documentation (axles, appliances, etc) you may find maintenance info. within each items respective owners' manual.

I've performed all the maintenance and attended to whatever minor issues that have cropped up over the last 6 years on our TT without ever returning our rig to the dealership, although they have provided miscellaneous parts from time to time. Most items in your TT will have product manuals that indicate maintenance intervals including cleaning and trouble-shooting procedures. Checking exterior sealants and battery fluid levels/connections should be performed throughout the year with wheel bearings/brake operation inspected prior to the beginning of your camping season.

No reason you couldn't just haul your TT down to your preferred service center (that's what my neighbors do} but if you are handy with tools you could perform many of these tasks yourself with the satisfaction of knowing it was done to your specifications. Becoming familiar with your rig's major systems (electrical, plumbing, propane delivery, etc.) is paramount and will surely pay dividends in terms of your rig's overall longevity, durability, plus effectively reduce the amount of downtime over it's lifespan.

We've been pretty lucky with our current rig and have never experienced any significant issues while using our TT that couldn't be readily addressed and rectified, knowing how to use a multimeter (volt, amp, ohm measurements) greatly enhances the ability to diagnose AC/DC voltage issues that may occasionally arise as they can quickly ruin your trip and most times are relatively easy fixes. Just keep reading this informative forum as many of the most common issues with RV systems are posted and their solutions covered in detail providing insight for those attempting to remedy their own issues before relegating the repair to their preferred RV servicer. Happy Camping!!!

Best to read the manual on every appliance as well.

Each items has their own unique maintenance schedule.

Hope this helps…

Never seen a maint sheet but if you check out the manuals for the different equipment your rig came with, there will be specifics in them usually in the back under maintenance.

I do a spring roof walk, cleaning and checking all sealant and looking for anything that needs a fix. Also a walk around, checking sealant around windows, lights, seams.

Check the jacks and stairs and give them a squirt of silicone spray for lube about every 2-3rd trip.

Check tires for air pressure prior to every trip along with lug nuts are tight. Include the spare.

Check bearings and seals every spring. grease and replace as needed.

Wash about monthly.

Use the air compressor to clean any spider webs, dust, dirt from frig, WH vents, etc.

Touch up any steel straps that might have a little rust on them. quick rub with a steel bristle brush and some spray rustoleum.

Clean AC filter (inside) and gently spray AC after removing the cover on roof to make sure it's clean.

Do all the same in the fall before I winterize with the exception of the bearings/seals. Thats a springtime and prior to long trips thing for me.

No not that I'm aware of. Usually in the spring get on the roof and reseal any cracks in the dicor or vents. Chech and if required lube your bearings. Check windows for leaks etc. Pretty much the usual stuff.
