Where to get an annual inspection
I fear this, going in for an annual inspection. My camper is fairly new, but I’m finding things that indicate a low quality build, that don’t seem to have been assembled right, or that have already shaken loose in the first few thousand miles. I thought I’d get another couple things fixed/adjusted, then take it in for an annual inspection just to check the trailer out. What I’d like to avoid most is a breakdown on the road. Somewhere. I know Good Sam is connected, but when I called a large camper sales/repair company, they 1st asked if I bought my camper there. I said no. Then they said they had a 2 month wait list. My concern is that if I make an appointment for something like an annual inspection, with repair of something if they find something, then I’d show up, the camper would sit for an extended time, me waiting at a nearby hotel, the bills mounting… Maybe my fears are unfounded. I’m new at this. But I thought This collective group may have some wisdom on this. Thoughts?
Leveling
I was just wondering if anybody has any better Solutions for leveling a class c? I am on a very unlevel area where I am parked and I live full-time in my R. V. Im using those plastic levelers and it is really difficult to use because 3 of 4 sides are different heights. I don't know if anybody has any other suggestions that might help. I want to find a way to make it easier to do and a little more secure than what I have now.RV Depreciation
Does anyone know of an online calculator or tool that provides accurate RV pricing and depreciation that is NOT aimed to support dealers? Is there anything with Artificial Intelligence analysis? For people that have recently bought a rig, please let me know how you went about pricing, comparing, and purchasing. I am not interested in “We are okay with it being a sunk cost”.

Flatulence causing CO/Propane detector alarm?
I apologize for this graphic question, but this happened to me this last trip and I wanted to ask... Twice during the night, my CO/Propane detector went off - just after I passed gas. The detector is 5 feet away from the foot of my bed. I recall passing gas twice, and each time the alarm sounded within 2 minutes. Is this just too gross to discuss here? Is this something you've experienced?
100% Silicone roof coat a good idea?
Hello All, New here. I am in the process of restoring an old 25' Coachmen and am currently working on the roof. The roof was so weathered that I elected to strip it entirely down to the bare galvanized sheet metal. Now I am looking for what to put back on top. I have Henry 289 and 587 elastomeric that I was planning on coating the trailer with but I have also considered going EPDM (either a roll or in liquid form.) Just recently I was offered some 100% silicone roof coat (like Henry 887 Tropi-Cool)for a fraction of what it normally sells for. I have read horror stories about using silicone caulking on a roof but I can't find anything about an entire roof coat of silicone. Has anyone tried it on an RV? I have been told that the silicone makes an absolutely awesome roof coat that will last for decades, but I am concerned about how readily it can be repaired in case of damage. Does anyone have any experience with silicone roofing? Can it be repaired? Is it even a concern? Should I even consider going silicone? Thanks for looking everyone.
State farm denying my claim
I had to leave my travel trailer for 5 weeks due to helping my mom who had open heart surgery. I have a 2019 kz sportsman. When I return I open the door to find my seams are coming apart and water damage to walls. Especially in the bunk room. Allstate sends an adjuster and now claim is denied. They tell me this has been going on for a long time. There was no sign of water damage anywhere. No mold anywhere. Now what do I do? Thanks
