Tire Maintenance
One of the leading causes of tire failure is under inflated tires. Under inflated tires cause extreme heat build up that leads to tire failure. Tires can lose up to two pounds of air pressure per month. If you dont check your tires for three or four months they could be seriously under inflated. You should regularly check tire inflation, and adjust it if required.
You always want to check the tires when they are cold, meaning that you dont drive or move the RV before checking inflation. Invest in an accurate inflation pressure gauge. Check all tires and adjust pressure according to the manufacturers recommendation. Do no exceed the maximum pressure ratings found on the tires sidewall. Never check inflation pressure when the tires are hot, you will get a higher-pressure reading and if you let some air out they will be under inflated when they are cold.

Happy Customers
Our owner Rod considers customer service a top priority. Here are a couple of comments from happy customers, found on www.popupexplorer.com.
My wife and I recently purchased a Forest River Rockwood 2701 SS from Brien's. I have never been treated so well by a dealership. All aspects of the purchase went extremely smooth. From the time a down payment was made until the trailer was pulled off the lot. The sales and service staff were extremely helpful and informative. I would strongly recommend Briens to anyone interested in purchasing a trailer or just looking for a great service department.

If you are open to some other brands (Rockwood), then I would STRONGLY recommend you check out my new dealer - Briens RV. It is far but the price is well worth it. Case in point, there is a Rockwood dealer located 4 minutes from my house, but I am driving 60 minutes to get to Briens. His pricing is rock bottom. Like RV Wholesalers type prices. Adam hooked me up with this guy. He is a straight shooter and very easy going.

RV Roof Maintenance
Metal roofs, usually aluminum, are found on many older motorhomes, travel trailers and fifthwheels. Regular cleaning(one or two times a year) and inspection are all that is generally required. A regular automotive wash and wax will work well.
If your motor home, travel trailer or fifthwheel was made in the last 10 years, chances are it has a rubber roof. It's a material called Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM). EPDM manufacturers advise that rubber roof membranes do not require the use of any protective roof treatment or roof protector product. The only maintenance recommended is cleaning the roof four times a year.
If you have an EPDM roof, you may have noticed that the roof surface is chalky. Manufacturers say this is a normal process of age.
Regular cleaning will reduce chalk buildup and minimize white streaks on the sides of your RV. The correct cleaning product is very important for your EPDM rubber roof. Never use cleaners or conditioners containing petroleum solvents, harsh abrasives or citric based cleaners on your EPDM roof. Using such solvents will cause irreparable damage and will most likely void your warranty.
After the roof is clean and before you climb down, be sure to inspect all the roof seams, around vents, etc., to make sure the caulking is still in good condition.
Here are some recommended articles on roof care.

Buying A New RV
How to Buy a New RV - Motorhome, Travel Trailer, Fifth Wheel, Pickup Camper or Park Model
Article provided by: NADAguides.com
Buying a brand new RV can be a daunting task. The experts at NADAguides.com , the leader in RV pricing and specification information, offer these tips to help guide you in the right direction.
Do your Homework.
According to Lenny Sims, Vice President of Operations and NADAguides.com RV Editor, nothing can replace honest to goodness research when it comes to buying a new RV.
“Be sure to determine the Recreation Vehicle that best fits your needs, your wants and your lifestyle,” says Sims, “before you sign on the dotted line.”
His advice? Spend a lot of time researching different types of RVs, various makes and models and a variety of floor plans, as well as new RV pricing information and pre-owned RV pricing information to determine the potential price your used recreation vehicle might fetch if you’re offering it on trade or selling it outright. Sims suggests visiting a local RV park, talking to RV owners, (asking their opinions and getting their advice), joining a local RV club, subscribing to recreation vehicle magazines and newsletters, going to local RV shows to evaluate various makes and models first-hand, as well as renting an RV for the weekend to get some invaluable hands-on experience.
Finally, Sims suggests working closely with an RV sales associate at a local RV dealership to examine various features of the recreation vehicle you’re interested in purchasing, including its creature comforts and living space design, its engine specifications (when applicable), its tow-ability (when applicable), and the ins-and-outs of its optional equipment, including exactly how the refrigerator, stove, awnings, toilets, water pumps and holding tanks work.
“When you educate yourself with as much up-front information as possible, the entire RV purchasing experience becomes much more comfortable and enjoyable,” says Sims.
Check your Wallet.
Next up? Determine your budget ahead of time and stick to that budget, says Sims. If you’re financing, be sure to take into consideration all other monthly expenses, including the cost of your RV payment, to determine what you can afford.
Find your Ride.
Today’s RV buyer has a convenient medium at his fingertips – the Internet – and Sims says there are a variety of online resources RV buyers can turn to, without having to drive all over town (or all over the state for that matter), to find their perfect ride.
“The sky’s the limit when it comes to finding your perfect RV online,” said Sims. “It’s super convenient and much easier than it ever was before.”
Take a Test Drive.
As with any vehicle purchase, Sims suggests test driving your new RV to get a feel for its maneuverability, handling and power. “When buying an RV, nothing is more valuable than taking a test drive,” says Sims, “so stay focused, pay attention and spend quality time doing it right.”
Sims urges buyers to pay attention to the overall length and maneuverability of a recreation vehicle during the test drive, since this is one of the most important considerations when owning it.
“When an RV is over 38 feet, it will need to be maneuvered in ‘pull-through’ spaces at campgrounds,” says Sims. “What’s more, any towing requirements, such as a tow dinghy, trailer or boat will also dictate the size of RV you’ll need to buy, and hence, how it performs.” Depending on the type of RV, trailer or motor home you need, Sims suggests finding one with a greater turning radius if you plan to tow with it.
Sims says that during the test drive, buyers also need to keep in mind where they plan to store their RV (whether or not they have the accommodations to store and park it depending on its size) where they plan to go with their RV (and whether or not those places provide easy in-and-out access), how often they will use it (whether they’re an RV weekender or full-timer), and as mentioned earlier, whether or not they have any towing requirements (such as a boat, a smaller car, or a trailer with ATVs or motorcycles). All of these factors come into play when assessing an RV’s overall drive-ability and ease of use and the test drive is the most important time to evaluate its handling characteristics he says.
Get the Best Price.
According to Sims, there are a variety of resources a potential RV buyer can investigate to make sure they’re getting the best deal on a new RV.
“Check out online resources such as RVTraderOnline or RVSearch at NADAguides.com,” says Sims, “to compare prices of comparable new makes and models. Delve into your local newspaper to determine retail prices at local RV dealerships in your area or go online to your local RV dealer’s website to research inventory and new RV pricing information there.”
Finally, if you have a pre-owned RV for trade or for sale to a private buyer, Sims urges consumers to check out NADAguides.com used RV pricing information to determine exactly what their pre-owned recreation vehicles are worth.
“Knowing what your pre-owned recreation vehicle is worth is an extremely important part of the new RV buying process,” said Sims. “Not only does the value of your used RV determine a potential new RV down payment, but that information can also be used to determine what you could potentially net in the form of a trade-in or outright sale, to offset other ancillary costs of owning an RV – such as insurance, warranty and service expenses.”
