Outside Maintenance
I am looking to get some advice on travel trailer owners that store there RV's outside year round. I just took my 4-year old Jayco 26' Travel Trailer (bought brand new in 2010) in for some routine service and during an overall inspection the dealer suggested a roof and outside inspection.
They came up with $911.50 for caulking gutters, seams, edges, etc. and another $350. for a roof cleaning and sealing. I've cleaned the roof at least once if not twice a year, all four years I've owned it and have sealed the roof in 2012, and will do again this year.
I haven't authorized the work yet, but do think this is ridiculous! My Dad had RV's when I was growing up and I don't think he ever caulked or sealed the roofs. Aren't these vehicles meant to be outside for there lifetime??
Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
