cable slide issues..

Tires. I've spent more on blowout damage than all other repairs combined.

[Veebyes]

Fifteen years, well over two thousand nights, two hundred fifty thousand truck miles, estimated well over 150,000 trailer miles, seldom more than three nights one spot. Yeah, we have had our share of problems.

Slide problems with two of the three, fridge problems, A/C problems, ATS relaced, charger replaced, inverter replaced, two tire blowouts, landing jack problems, broken springs, windows replaced twice, stove replaced, roof recoated. It goes on and on.

The good news is that with almost everything except fridge and A/C replacement we did the labour ourselves.

Roof leak at transition from tin to rubber at the top front of the roof. Too much dependence of caulk in too many places. Poor frame spring hanger placement/axle alignment from new. Cheap oem tires. Unreliable tank sensors. Overall medeocre build quality/fit and finish.

Over the 23 years (4 coaches)
!. Slide out issues (motor driven cable was far the worst)
1b. Lack of proper adjustment on motor driven cog slide
2. Electrical folding bed (sleep number) No power reaching motor
3. Fogged windows driver and passenger side
4. Plastic coating on front of coach (2 coaches)

Broken slides....I'll never cable slides again.
Air conditioning....not cooling good enough
Shoddy parts and workmanship...things breaking too easily, not properly aligned, tub not caulked
Refrigerator....this one is current...not cooling on propane.

I've only had one blow out and the tires were junk. Nobody to blame but me. I spend more on good tires now.

LOL! ALL of our issues have been "operator error" and could have been prevented with a few simple rules:

When moochdocking, look out for basketball rims
Don't take an RV on dirt roads. Avoid crowned roads with NO side bike lane
Watch for swing-wide collisions on sharp turns
Close the entry door when moving the RV
Now that camera systems are cheap - have an always-on rear view.

Our most recurring problem seems to be propane related.
Tank valves, switchover unit, etc.

Number two is batteries/converter.

Third may be various interior screws, hinges, latches, etc constantly needing adjustment.

I am OCD about tires, so those are rarely a problem.

[NamMedevac_70]

In 17 years of towing a TT only one slow valve stem leak and minor issue with circuit breakers and road debris damage easily patched by me. I bough a very good quality TT by R Vision that was owned by Monaco Coach of Oregon. Yup

I also practiced periodic preventative maintenance chores and especially on the roof.

to many campers, to few sites....

Other than that we've gone 12 years, 50K + miles 300 some campouts in our trailer and no device failures.
Improvement I wish would have been from the factory that I had to do

a) dump the WFCO converters for something decent, PD etc
b) spark ignitor on the oven
c) quieter AC units
d) better sealing on the AC ductwork
e)_cruise ship like water faucet in the shower, one knob controls temp, other controls flow..... easy peasy showers
f) dump carpeting for good vinyl floors.... more trailers doing this.
g) quieter furnace. It's my alarm clock in the morning......

No slide issues
No flats (well the TPMS did catch a nail that was giving a very slow leak, likely prevented a blowout situation)
No leaks

[shelbyfv]

With my first trailer it was water leaks. I resolved that by going to a molded fiberglass trailer. The continuing annoyance is hub maintenance. I learned to do it but I resent having to. Hubs on autos seem to go forever these days yet you still have to mess with trailers every 10k miles.

[ferndaleflyer]

refrigerator. So far this summer it has worked fine, haven't checked it today and it is 93.

[rk911]

just slide-out issues.
