Just for thought;

I'm in the middle, again, of cleaning slide seals, sealing roof seams, looking under/over/around literally everything that is in/on our trailer. Things peel off. They deteriorate, and I keep mine stored in a very nice covered/enclosed facility.

When many/most folks, this is my assumption, buy a trailer they think they just bought a trouble free, rolling house. It is SO different. The first few trailers I had I had very few issues but I only had them for a couple of years at most, and, they were not complicated like they are now.

The importance of maintenance, documented if you have an extended warranty policy, cannot be overstated. It seems like a real pain but, once you get used to it, I enjoy going to the trailer, giving it the once over, crawling around over and under it...it has to be done. And, I don't have all the play toys; Corvette, Z28, off road vehicles I used to have that required far more than the RV. Take care of it, watch over it and it will take care of you. JMO - YMMV
