Maintenance Tips by Jim Buelow
Have you inspected and lubricated your slides and jacks lately. I did, and unfortunately I found a missing slide roller on the slide rail assembly. Now we are having to delay a trip to the beach until we can get the part and hopefully install the part without having to shop the coach. GET ER DONE.

Cranking batteries last around six years for AGM and Lead Acid, at least mine did. Caution, don't start and long trip with old batteries, you might not make it. On our second day to Wy, one of my three cranking batteries started passing gas and a liquid. Travel America, the fuel stop road service responded to Good Sam's. Several hundred dollars later we had three new batteries and on the road again by 11:00 am the next morning. TA road service found the correct battery three towns over.Six weeks later, I needed to roll the coach for system checks. Air brakes were rusted to the drums. Several attempts later and 120 PSI, we move of the spot. Twenty miles later the tires smoothed out. RV need to roll keep seals in transmission and drive train from drying out. Tires chemicals need to be redistributed.
