Readying TT for 11th season
Been fortunate with this rig for past 11 years. Never had so much as a flat tire. Same tow vehicle for all that time as well. Nice to have no monthly payments paid under 16k out the door at the time for TT. Everyone has their own process of getting ready for the season.Here's some my own checklist items aside for the usual things like flushing the lines.
1. Take apart and clean the fridge igniter along with cleaning
the burner tube. As the camper gets older it seems that id get
a non ignition problem mid season. With the cleaning
preseason no problems. Never have had to touch the water
heater ignition go
figure.
2. Lube slide out actuator and arms with dry silicone spray. My
unit spends a good time in salt air.
3. Infalte my tires to 60 psi (load range D) I store them at 50
over winter while parked on rubber mats. Tires always covered
from sun.
4. Check roof sealant. Fix as needed
5. lube tongue jack, mine is manual and it helps
6. jack up trailer and adjust brakes, bearings werent due repack this year
