Basic/Routine TT maintenence, roof, caulking, seals, etc

Probably most every time I walk around our trailer I inspect the edge caulking...for sure every time I wash it...also the caulking around the running lights.

Roof gets a detailed look over twice a year....re-seal and caulk as needed.
4 trailers, 20+ years - no leaks. (ours is stored in covered storage which makes a BIG difference)

I do it once a year. The CORRECT answer is whenever your manual specifies it. I believe they recommend every 3 or 4 months, depending upon manufacturer.

The absolute BEST thing you can do for longevity of your RV is to have covered parking. I use eternabond tape for the roofing edges. Eternabond has a 20 year life expectancy. Caulk has about a year or 2 life expectancy.

Howdy!

Check the roof at lest twice a years. I was alao told by RV tech keep a close eye on the corners.

Don't forget to repack your wheel bearings yearly, every spring is a good time for this. We inspect our roof every time we wash and wax (2 x yr). We recaulk as needed. Keep an eye on the water level in your battery as well.

Dont assume because an RV is new it does not need caulking. I found a few areas on mine.

Thanks all for the info

I just bought my first TT with slides. What is your normal maintenance for the slide seals?

You can clean them with wd40 and then rinse them off. Once dry coat with a little bit of baby powder to keep them from sticking.
