Newbie - what is annual maintenance for a TT ???

I am a total newbie on Travel Trailers.
Been looking at them and getting close to pulling the trigger
on an R-Pod 180 or Real-Lite.

I was though wondering what am I taking on - do I have the
ability and knowledge to do what I should do to keep my TT
in great condition. I am not the kind of person who would take
it to an RV center and have them do annual maintenance - I like
to do the work/repairs myself assuming I know how.

What am I getting in to??? Thanks.

    One big thing, whatever RV you own, check the roof for leaks or potential leaks a couple times a year.

    A small leak can do a lot of damage if not repaired quickly. A little PM will save you a lot of grief...

    There are some great folks on here that are more then willing to share their knowledge but dont take any one persons response as the end all be all. Its great your are doing research to make an educated decision. If you can tow one of these and set it up and use it you can do the maintenance its not hard. It would help to hook with an experienced friend, neighbor or coworker that has a trailer to watch and see what they do.
