Annual bearing inspection and replacing is an important part of ensuring that your trailer maintains safe driving characteristics while traveling between home and your destination.
Failed wheel bearings can cause expensive damage to axels and wheels, and in the most severe failures can result in tire blowouts, wheel separation, and fire.

Why your RV needs it:
Exterior slide gaskets are typically made of rubber. Over time, and with exposure to RV light and ozone in the air, these seals will harden and crack if not properly maintained and conditioned. Hardened seals and debris on slide roofs are common but preventable causes of water leaks.
On some systems, RV slide rails and drives need to be cleaned and serviceable components lubricated to prevent operational issues such as :binding, excessive noise, and possible damage to the slide mechanism during operation.
Stabilizer and leveling jacks also need to be serviced regularly to prevent debris from building up and fouling the jack assembly which can result in operational issues.
Recommended service every 12 months
What our RV service technicians do:

Why your RV needs it:

Why your RV needs it:
Having access to water is an amenity that some RVers may take for granted until they notice that the water in their RV has a foul odor, tastes strange, or becomes unsafe to drink or use. The key to keeping your RV water clean, fresh, and safe is by sanitizing your RV tank. Sanitizing your water tank is the best way to ensure that your water tastes good and is safe to consume or use. Failure to sanitize your water tank can lead to bacteria growth and other health and nuisance issues down the road.

Typical sealant repairs may include the following:
- removing windows, cleaning off old sealant, and rebedding with window
- removing corner moldings, cleaning off old sealant, and resealing
Why your RV needs it:
Have your roof regularly cleaned and treated at least once a year to prevent mold, sap build-up or potential damage that could cause leaks.
Over time windows, molding, and roof/wall mounted accessory seals tend to fail by losing their flexibility. This loss in flexibility is due to weather from ozone / UV damage. A loss in flexibility results in cracking/splitting of seals which will results in leaks.
A small investment in maintaining your RV's seals, and proactively looking for areas where sealant may be starting to fail, will help to avoid expensive water damage down the road.
