Almost One ...

Well    ...our 177 turns one year old in October. With our camping season starting to wind down I was thinking about the different levels of preventative maintanance. Decided to call our dealer down in the Denver area. Turns out, the two most common procedures that they perform (presuming all other subsystems in the camper are working properly) are the "Axle/Wheel Bearing" and "Propane Leak" inspections and repairs.

Since I did my own propane testing throughout the season I decided to go ahead and have the axle and wheel bearings serviced. Not a horendous expense, considering all the enjoyment we've had in our Pod so far this season. While I'm at it I am having them sell me some replacement bearing/hub parts, which could be hard to come by if we ever broke down on the road.

What other tests have you long time Pod owners done/had done over the years ??

Thanks in advance    ...

+1 on the winterizing.

Don't worry too much about the bearings, you can go several years between greasings.

Originally posted by Seanl I did a visual inspection of all the caulking on the roof and sides before winter. Snow and ice can do a job on them over the winter. Not as important if you store indoors or live in the sunny south.

Thanks    ...had that on the list. We live in Wyoming and the Pod goes under cover from around the end of October until the end of May.

While on the topic though, what do you and others use for caulking ?     ...I was thinking about using an exterior rated white silicon based caulking.
