This is another video we are going to have to archive and come back to! This is a very overwhelming but very helpful video! There is a lot of maintenance required on the RV! That is great to have a checklist for RV maintenance! Never heard of the flea collar trick! That is very interesting! Thanks for sharing these videos! They are very helpful! ~ Shion and Matthew

I just told my wife, "I found my go-to Hero for maintenance" - wonderful job on the video. I found the link to your maintenance schedule below, my attempt to capture all the STUFF "to be done" never fully materialized. I am sure your videos will help as well, especially since we have a Grand Design Solitude (2020 390RK). Thanks in advance for the help. I will use your store/links for products - THANKS

I've been living full time in my 5thw , for bout 2 yrs now. And so I am new to the RV life ,. And I knew that there would be maintenance ,. But I've got to get a schedule down . Like today , in just a little bit , I'm bout to get on the roof and clean my ac coils ECT ,,,and I don't know I've got the stuff I need to do it,. I guess I just am feeling scared , ,,not scared just apprehensive that I wont be able to get the cover off, or something ,,, But I've prepared myself by watching lots of how to videos , and I just need to get it done and see what dirt and debris is up there,. I am gonna do it,. And I can do it! I will feel confident after I'm done with that and next job is cleaning the roof and painting on roof sealant ,, "One job at a time" But it's way worth it! And thanks for your info , and tips it gave me some insight on what I have been overlooking So thanks again

@Why Wait now that's a new one to hear about spare parts but it certainly makes sense! I've driven (so far) out to the eastern side of Texas to make the purchase last August, drove northerly for a night to head back so so. East Arizona with decent roads. Just when Arizona starts, whether it be the 10 or 40 it begins the E- ticket ride all the way through! I've heard Louisiana is the worst in the nation! I got "the best" when I replaced all 5 tires soon after buying it so hopefully that'll do some good for these roads!! 18 ply

I think you said you torque your lug nuts every trip. We have a GD Reflection 337 and at a rally the GD engineers said if you do that you must back off (slightly loosen) the bolts first or you will eventually over-torque your lug nuts and eventually breaking lugs! Especially in your case as 110 is the max torque. They recommended re-torquing once at 200 miles after re-installing.
@WhyWait
3 жыл бұрын
When I say every trip I mean every 6 months cause We usually only move twice a year and I do my bearings once a year before one of those trips so I have to take the wheels off and obviously torque the lugs when I put them back on. So technically I only check for torque once a year haha 😊

Actually no. If you repeatedly re-tighten, even at the same setting, you're slowly increasing the torque every time you re-tighten to the click. Re-tighten enough times and you'll snap a lug. @@TraconWizard

@WhyWait
2 жыл бұрын
So this has always been a big debate in the Schwintek world. I recently found out a few months ago the you DO NOT need to lubricate the Schwintek slides anymore. Some older videos out there show a tech lubing these like I do. I guess that video is the old Schwintek system with the old coupler and metal gibs. Now it’s oil and copper infused and does not require additional lube. The Lippert people say by lubing you can actually cause the motors to work harder and therefore amp out sooner due to over coming a thicker more obstructed gear rack. This is straight from Lippert headquarters.

Would you be willing to share your maintenance spreadsheet (if you haven't already)? Yours is more comprehensive than mine. I recommend you update electronically and add a Due Date field so you can sort the entire list by due date. Then all you have to do to stay on top of maintenance is ensure you're up-to-date (completed all due items before or on the current date) and you never have to worry about missing maintenance! Personally I use a database and simply click the "Schedule" button in my Maintenance Menu and presto, I'm looking at a work list sorted by due date.

Chris - really appreciate all your maintenance videos and product recommendations. They have helped us keep great care of our RV! I had a quick question about the 303 protectant. I do hear a lot of people rave about it, so I do think it’s a good product… but on all the exterior applications, I notice a lot of streaking occurs the first time it sees any water (morning dew, rain). Have you experienced the streaking of this product at all? I recently applied to a lot of items on our roof such as the black AC covers, roof vents, attic vents, skylight… but first morning we had some dew, it turned into a bunch of white/black streaks down all the surfaces I treated. Not sure if this is common or if its due to how I am using it (spray on to cloth and wipe down surface). Curious on your experience with it!
@WhyWait
Жыл бұрын
Thanks, appreciate you watching 👍🏼 I would say make sure to use only on clean surfaces. For best results clean the area first and it doesn’t take much 303 when applying. Out of direct sunlight(this is key) spray surface with 303 Aerospace Protectant and then wipe completely dry and or buff. If streaking occurs, too much product has been used. Use a wet towel to remove excess, immediately wipe completely dry. Note: this product does not air dry. Extra buffing with a dry cloth increases bonding, repellency and longevity. They recommend re-applying 303 Aerospace Protectant every 3-5 weeks for maximum UV protection. I will say that yes if I get lazy and just apply to my trucks rubber gaskets around the windows and didn’t clean the truck first or I don’t wipe it dry and buff then yes I’ve had it streak too. Hope this helps 👍🏼
@ShaneMosier-fb8dq

@@WhyWait you know what, I definitely did clean the surface, but the “wipe completely dry part” may be what’s getting me. I probably have too much product on. I would spray 303 on a towel, wipe it all over the surface, but I wouldnt go back with a dry towel and wipe it again. I will try that next time around. Anyways, keep up the great videos. And I cannot thank you enough for introducing me to Boeshield T-9. That stuff is amazing. It helped me get rid of about 5 other lubricants and carry just this one product. From the RV to tow vehicle and all over our house, I couldnt recommend it enough. And one final shout out… my wife LOVES the gabe’s pride products.

@WhyWait

You can really use either or. The dry lube with PTFE is probably better because it’s suppose ti create a dry film around most metal, wood, rubber, and glass surfaces to reduce friction and resist oil, dust, dirt, and harmful contaminant build-ups. The CRC power lube with PTFE is a wet lube that could attract more dust and dirt to stick to it. I use the dry lube when it’s available and I can find it. The CRC Power Lube comes with extreme pressure additives and PTFE to offer unparalleled lubricating performance. It has twice load carrying capacity of most general purpose lubricants. And it’s the only lube Lippert recommends to use on the Schwintek slide out style slides. Hope this helps.

I think you said you torque your lug nuts every trip. We have a GD Reflection 337 and at a rally the GD engineers said if you do that you must back off (slightly loosen) the bolts first or you will eventually over-torque your lug nuts and eventually breaking lugs! Especially in your case as 110 is the max torque. They recommended re-torquing once at 200 miles after re-installing.
@WhyWait

When I say every trip I mean every 6 months cause We usually only move twice a year and I do my bearings once a year before one of those trips so I have to take the wheels off and obviously torque the lugs when I put them back on. So technically I only check for torque once a year haha 😊

So this has always been a big debate in the Schwintek world. I recently found out a few months ago the you DO NOT need to lubricate the Schwintek slides anymore. Some older videos out there show a tech lubing these like I do. I guess that video is the old Schwintek system with the old coupler and metal gibs. Now it’s oil and copper infused and does not require additional lube. The Lippert people say by lubing you can actually cause the motors to work harder and therefore amp out sooner due to over coming a thicker more obstructed gear rack. This is straight from Lippert headquarters.

Would you be willing to share your maintenance spreadsheet (if you haven't already)? Yours is more comprehensive than mine. I recommend you update electronically and add a Due Date field so you can sort the entire list by due date. Then all you have to do to stay on top of maintenance is ensure you're up-to-date (completed all due items before or on the current date) and you never have to worry about missing maintenance! Personally I use a database and simply click the "Schedule" button in my Maintenance Menu and presto, I'm looking at a work list sorted by due date.

Chris - really appreciate all your maintenance videos and product recommendations. They have helped us keep great care of our RV! I had a quick question about the 303 protectant. I do hear a lot of people rave about it, so I do think it’s a good product… but on all the exterior applications, I notice a lot of streaking occurs the first time it sees any water (morning dew, rain). Have you experienced the streaking of this product at all? I recently applied to a lot of items on our roof such as the black AC covers, roof vents, attic vents, skylight… but first morning we had some dew, it turned into a bunch of white/black streaks down all the surfaces I treated. Not sure if this is common or if its due to how I am using it (spray on to cloth and wipe down surface). Curious on your experience with it!
@WhyWait
Жыл бұрын
Thanks, appreciate you watching 👍🏼 I would say make sure to use only on clean surfaces. For best results clean the area first and it doesn’t take much 303 when applying. Out of direct sunlight(this is key) spray surface with 303 Aerospace Protectant and then wipe completely dry and or buff. If streaking occurs, too much product has been used. Use a wet towel to remove excess, immediately wipe completely dry. Note: this product does not air dry. Extra buffing with a dry cloth increases bonding, repellency and longevity. They recommend re-applying 303 Aerospace Protectant every 3-5 weeks for maximum UV protection. I will say that yes if I get lazy and just apply to my trucks rubber gaskets around the windows and didn’t clean the truck first or I don’t wipe it dry and buff then yes I’ve had it streak too. Hope this helps 👍🏼

@@WhyWait you know what, I definitely did clean the surface, but the “wipe completely dry part” may be what’s getting me. I probably have too much product on. I would spray 303 on a towel, wipe it all over the surface, but I wouldnt go back with a dry towel and wipe it again. I will try that next time around. Anyways, keep up the great videos. And I cannot thank you enough for introducing me to Boeshield T-9. That stuff is amazing. It helped me get rid of about 5 other lubricants and carry just this one product. From the RV to tow vehicle and all over our house, I couldnt recommend it enough. And one final shout out… my wife LOVES the gabe’s pride products. At first ordered a bottle of general cleaner and glass cleaner to test it out… but just ordered the concentrate formula so we can mix up bottles all summer long. Really impressed with it! Take care and look forward to more tips from ya!

Thank you for this video. What would you recomend to lube the landing gear and levers on an auto level trailer. 2019 Grand Design Momentum 376th

We have the hydraulic leveling landing gear and we use the CRC dry power lube with PTFE. Pretty versatile for most things. It’s basically a dry Teflon lube, prevents dirt and dust from sticking to the legs.

@@WhyWait I will try it. Thanks for the videos. Good job!
I just noticed on your slideroom at the end of the video, it looks like you have a slide seal flipper to help ensure the slide seals deploy correctly. Is that a correct assumption. If so what are you using as the slide seal flippers as I have been looking at different options to use that won't damage the slide seals

It’s actually just the back of a Command hook. We attach the hook there to hang outdoor wreaths. I’ve never had a problem with the seals not deploying correctly, I always check when the slides go out. But now that you mention it I wonder if these would be a good solution if I ever did have an issue. 🤔🤔
Do you have any concern with the 30 second cleaner degrading the awning fabric with the bleach in it. Think most recommend dawn but looking for something with better cleaning power. Thanks

Nope! 30 Seconds Outdoor Cleaner can be used on a variety of surfaces; wood decks, concrete driveways, sidewalks, stucco, vinyl siding, brick walls, plastic outdoor furniture, you name it. If it's outdoors and dirty from humidity and wet weather, 30 Seconds can clean it all. Simply spray on and hose off. Here’s a link below. Great for the roof too. I have a whole video on it you should go watch. Just don’t use the alcohol based one. amzn.to/2YHnfnf

No I do not. The roof TPO roof doesn’t require anything like that. Just cleaning and visual inspection to see what needs resealing.
Is there any difference between CRC power lube and CRC dry lube? In video you say to use CRC power lube for slide out rack and pinion gears but in check list you say to use. CRC DRY lube. Thanks

You can really use either or. The dry lube with PTFE is probably better because it’s suppose ti create a dry film around most metal, wood, rubber, and glass surfaces to reduce friction and resist oil, dust, dirt, and harmful contaminant build-ups. The CRC power lube with PTFE is a wet lube that could attract more dust and dirt to stick to it. I use the dry lube when it’s available and I can find it. The CRC Power Lube comes with extreme pressure additives and PTFE to offer unparalleled lubricating performance. It has twice load carrying capacity of most general purpose lubricants. And it’s the only lube Lippert recommends to use on the Schwintek slide out style slides. Hope this helps.
