August Issue of ‘RV Enthusiast’ Features RV Maintenance Tips

The August issue of RV Enthusiast magazine is now available. The issue features all kinds of tips and tricks to “Maintaining, Repairing & Upgrading your RV,” including:

Motorhome Movie Mayhem – Motorhomes were made for the movies. If they hadn’t been invented, someone would have come up with the concept for movies? Why? Because they are the perfect foil — big enough to carry a lot of people and “armed” with the type of onboard systems that are perfect for comedic relief. Can you say “toilet humor?” We listed our choices for the top 10 movies to feature a motorhome in a starring role.

Hot Topic – The 120-volt AC heating element in a hot water tank is one of those overlooked parts that stay out of mind — until, of course, it fails, usually while on a trip. Replacing this element is a simple project for any do-it-yourselfer. In fact, if yours has some years on it, you might want to be proactive and replace it now — before it stops functioning. You never know when replacement parts become backordered.

Meeting the Demand for a Safer, Smoother Driving Experience – As the ongoing boom in RV sales continues, it’s fueled efforts to engineer and build ancillary products within the RV arena — and nowhere is this as prevalent as within the hitches-and-towing segment. As less-experienced RVers hit the road, companies are working overtime to create new products to keep them safe.

Keeping Your Rear Gears Turning – Perhaps one of the most overlooked maintenance items in a motorized RV or two vehicle is the rear differential. Converting engine output into rotational force creates a lot of heat, however — and gear oil will eventually break down and need to be replaced. It’s not a complex job — but it can be messy.
