CAMPER CARE FAQ'S
〰️
CAMPER CARE FAQ'S 〰️
How often should I reseal my roof?
We recommend bringing your unit in for a detailed visual inspection every 90 days. Depending on the amount of UV exposure, you can expect a reseal every 1-3 years.
Do I need to use my water pump when I’m connected to city water?
No, the water pump should only be used to move water from the holding tank when no pressurized water source is available.
How long do batteries last?
The average battery lifespan is between 1-3 years. The lifespan depends on the type of battery, usage, and how well maintained. We recommend topping it off every 30 days and carrying a gallon of distilled water to top off In emergencies.
How long does it take for my refrigerator to cool down?
It typically takes one hour per cubic foot. When you’re getting ready for camping, you will lose ten degrees every time you open the door and it takes up to two hours for the unit to fully recover.
How often should I service my A/C?
You should check with your manufacturers instructions. Generally, A/C units are serviced annually, however the need for service could be increased depending on the lifestyle of the camper. For example, owners who travel with pets may require twice yearly servicing.
Should I roll my awning in when it rains?
A general rule of thumb is, if you have to think about rolling it in, you should. They are only made for shade, and although they can tip forward to let water run off, they are intended for shade purposes, not umbrellas. For your safety and the safety of your unit, you should never leave your awning out in the wind or rain.
How often should I service my slide?
At minimum, both wiper seals should be sealed and lubricated and mechanics should be visually checked by a professional once yearly.
What type of chemicals should I use in my tanks?
There are a large number of manufacturers who make digestors and deodorizers. The most important thing is that you find one that works for you and use it consistently. Remember, always keep your black tank closed!
