Degrease TPO Roof
I know this has been beat to death but I can't find anything to help me. I want to seal my TPO roof with Eterna Bond tape but do not know what to use to safely degrease the roof. I'm in Canada, so names of products that are common in the United States mean nothing to me. Any help? Thanks.1.8KViews0likes10CommentsWash Trailer On Seasonal Site
I'm sure most seasonal parks don't allow trailer washing because of water use. My park will allow it as long as you book a timeslot. I'm looking for any products or tips that I can use to keep my trailer looking good between major washings that only require using a couple of gallons of water. Thanks.2.5KViews0likes11CommentsGoodbye China Bombs, Hello Made In The USA
9,000lb trailer with load range D tires which came on the trailer. I just had my second blowout in only a few hundred miles. Time to go to load range E in a Goodyear Endurance. Thinking the D is not heavy duty enough & thinking I need to go Goodyear. It will be nice to tow without worrying about my tires.5.3KViews0likes17CommentsRe: Add Awning To Slide?

Call Jayco directly and ask for customer service. Have the camper VIN number handy to give to them so they know exactly which camper you have. Ask if they can provide a stud wall plan for the area you want to mount the awning to. Then you can see if there is extra support in the wall structure and where it is located. I have seen this exact question asked to Jayco from a friend who bought a new Jayco and wanted to add a slide topper. He needed to know where and if there was structure to mount the roller arms to the slide wall. And I called Jayco myself when helping a friend with his large Eagle Fifth wheel to look up the screw length in the gutter rail screws. In this case the technician looked up the wall plan and told me over the phone the size of the aluminum tubing that was used. This was all pre Covid, not sure if on site staff is still available to look up things like this with so much remote cutometer service working from home now a days. But, it is worth a shot. They have given good customer service like this in the past. A sign of at least one RV company left who will help their customer with these kinds of questions after the sale. Hope this helps, John Good info. Thanks!1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Kia, Hyundai: Please come to the rescue "Pathetic Quality"

Most RV’s are built by hand unlike the modern automotive industry which uses a lot of robots and other automated processes. Ours was built missing a rear window, was missing floor heat register, the Dura Shield on the front had to be replaced twice as it came from the factory looking like bubble wrap. Yes the workers may have made an error, but obvious stuff should have been caught. What really frost my buttocks though is the crappy furniture and appliances that go into these things. Unfortunately inspection is a lost art. In North American manufacturing there has been a major swing to self inspection. If I do it wrong without realizing it then it goes down the line like that. Owners save money by having a minimal quality department at the expense of, you guessed it, product quality.809Views0likes0Comments
