repair

I had my A-frame trailer for about 6 years and My wife and I have been using it constantly over that time so it gets lots of use we take on for up to 6 weeks at a time and that is a lot of roads to drive. Here in Calif, the roads are Bad and so these trailer with no shocks to dampen the bounce...

I’ve learned a lot from this forum, so would add to it my latest repair “notes”. So, woke up a couple of days ago with temp getting low. Bottom line: AquaHot 400D burner (diesel) not igniting. Dang-it been meaning to get to that fuel nozzle. That was my first thought, but no worries as I had...

2017 Coachmen Leprechaun Class C MH with a basic mechanical awning - gust of wind got it and pulled the top mounts loose. Did not come all the way off but the mounting bolts were pulled out about 3/4 of the way. As a temporary fix I was able to screw the bolts back in and they got fairly...

Hello everyone, I described my issue in the Legacy sub-forum. I basically need a shop to fix the (very) large kitchen slideout on our 2014 Legacy SR300. It seems like it will be quite a big undertaking, so ideally, I'd like to take my RV to a reputable shop that has some experience with this...

Flagstaff Classic Bedroom Slider Adventure After a 300-mile drive into the North Carolina mountains, we got set up at our campsite and Carolyn went to extend the bedroom slider containing closets. It immediately went catawampus and jammed. I discovered I could “muscle” the slider out enough...

Hello All, First I'd like to say great Forum! I purchased my first "new to me" travel trailer on Oct 31st and picked it up a week later. It had a few minor issues wiring, adjustments etc, and I found answer to all but one of the issues on this site! So Thank you! The one last issue I have is...

Well shock and surprise that staple in the middle of the rock guard along the BOTTOM front edge didn't hold. The good news is the guard is secure along the top! I am actually "lucky" as I noticed the slight bulge in the middle of the guard when I started removing my incredibly lousy...

I've got a small tear in my awning on my NoBo 16.8 and I wondering what the best repair tape is. And does anybody know if my awning material is vinyl or not which looks like could be factor in choosing the right repair tape. Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone used Elite RV repair in Palmetto, FL? I had a blowout and need some minor repair to my trailer. Looking for any recommendations in the Tampa area. Thanks, Tom

Lippert p/n 146059/Venture Landing Leg Gear Repair Kit Lippert p/n 146060/Venture Landing Leg Gear Repair Kit These are 12 x 16 tooth gear sets for landing legs. The only apparent difference is the machined shaft on gear set kit p/n 146059 I found these on amazon.

I noticed this crack today, see image. It's not leaking yet but I'd like to proactively repair it myself if possible.

Hi folks, I took my brand new Salem Cruise Lite 243BHXL in for winterization and got a bill for corner seals despite the trailer being 8 months old and used for 15 days this year. The dealer said seal repairs was normal repair like an oil change. I laughed and said oil changes at least get me...

I’m looking to purchase a 2015 micro lite 21fbrs. Interior has minor cosmetic issues. No softness on the floor from inside. However, on the slide-out side, in front of and behind the slide, the plywood under the black membrane is rotting. In the two spots I found (about 2 ft in length, starting...

Last month we took a 5300 mile trip to visit the National Parks in the Moab, Utah and Northern Arizona area. The Interstates were brutal, I-70 outbound and I-40 back. The routine when we stopped for the night was level the trailer, open the door and rehang the sliding door for the bathroom and...

Hello All We have a 2018 Mini Lite 1905 I accidentally seperated the metal housing from the HDMI Cable and the Purple RV in cable ( Metal round threaded piece that screws into TV will not hold the wire ). Is this something my Repair shop can fix somewhat easily or will they have to open...

I own a 2011 Crusader and I am new to the forum. Does anyone know if Forest River ever produced any repair manuals? I want to learn to do most of the repair work on my trailer myself. Thanks!

Non-camper related, but thought ya'll might be able to help me since it's still trailer related. Bought a used 2011 Jensen 18' enclosed cargo trailer last week that was previously owned by a cell tower contractor, so it has it's share of dents and bruises on it. The roof is bare aluminum and...

Like many others, I have had a recurring front storage compartment leak ever since purchasing in 2016, and this season I didn't notice until two late that it was soaking the OSB floor and resulted in a rotten spot. I cut it out replaced with treated plywood. I thought it might be worth others...

I had a blowout on my 832IKBS TT last weekend. I am finding it almost impossible to get a replacement fender and other parts to fix it. Forest River's website says they will not sell directly to me, I have to go to a dealer. The only Forest River dealer around me is Camping World, and...

We had been having problems with the slide on our 2017 2430S for a couple of years with it being in for repairs at two different dealer service shops during that time. In June, both service shops told us they couldn’t fix it and suggested a factory repair. They led us believe we needed a new...

2020 Apex 300BHS repair delays I wanted to see if anybody else is having issues getting repairs done on your rigs? We purchased back in April and took a 5000 mile trip. So we’re having loose trim, cosmetics and a few other things done. Can’t seem to get parts in b/c of COVID. It’s been at...

Just replaced the muffler on the generator.

I've lived in my Forest River Salem for about 5 years without any major problems. But I noticed my slide out was sagging and rain was getting inside. It turns out there has been a leak between the slide and body of my rv for a while. After removing the furniture and carpeting, it seems the...

I have a 2019 Cherokee Patriot Edition 27RR, bought new in 9/2018. Following the advise of many on the forum, I did the roof maintenance this spring, using Dicor on any areas that appeared to be points of possible water intrusion. I then used Eternabond all around the perimeter of the roof...

I know I'm not the only one who has had a dripping kitchen sink in a late model Rockwood (2020 2608BS). I was camping a couple of weeks ago and it was dripping pretty badly when hooked up to city water. I removed the faucet handle (hex key) and pulled out the cartridge. There were 2 o-rings...
