The most important maintenance actions you can perform on your trailer are arguably inspecting and maintaining the roof. Your dealer's statement of an "annual" sealing is woefully inadequate per the Keystone Owner's Manual. If you check your RV Owner's Guide, you'll see the following statement (probably around page 80):
"Inspect the roof at least every 90 days, paying close attention to all seams and/or joints and attachments where sealant is used. Look for cracks, shrinkage and/or gaps/voids in the sealants. These must be carefully cleaned and resealed. It is necessary to use the same sealant as originally installed if touching up cracks, shrinkage and gaps/voids. There is no way to know if 2 different brands of sealant will seal to each other. DO NOT use any type of
silicone product on the rubber roof material."
Read and follow all the maintenance/inspection requirements in the manual, but pay particular attention to how to inspect and maintain your roof. It's the key to preventing water damage which is the biggest threat to a "healthy RV".
