RV Repair and Maintenance Wish List

All of the products listed below except for the Optima batteries I found at Camping World and this entry is in no way an advertisement or endorsement for them but it is my likely choice of retailer for buying these products as they have it all available under one roof whereas if I try to source this out locally here in the lower mainland I would most likely find myself having to travel in ten different directions to get it done.

1. Honda Portable Generator EU2000i
2. Dicor Elastomeric RV Roof Coating.
3. Fabric-backed seam sealing tape
4. Dicor Self-Leveling Lap Sealant.
5. Add handy drawer space under your RV's dining table
6. Thin-Lite Single Tube Fluorescent Light Fixture #115
7. Optima Starting and House Batteries

The generator is something I have read about a few different blogs so I will go with it until such a time as I can fit it into my budget to mount solar panels on the RV so I can be truly self reliant for my electrical power needs as you know a generator requires fuel and spending money on fuel is already looking to be an almost luxury item seeing how things are going these days Filling the RV tanks will be painful enough let alone needing to regularly fill up the tank of a generator so I can have power to operate any electrical components I deem necessary to have with me.
































These last two items, the Optima batteries I will buy locally in Vancouver as there are one or two retailers that are advertised to carry them and I have had personal recommendations about these batteries and after the battery died in the RV the lot attendant at the storage facility took one out of his car so I could move RV back to it's parking site after it was detailed and washed and I can tell you the RV fired right up without hesitation. So I will go with Optima batteries without any hesitation.







Creating this list really helped me in realizing that achieving my goal of full time RVing is close at hand and more of a reality than I could ever have imagined it could be. RVing has been a dream of mine for so long that I took it for granted that it would never come to pass and here it is the dream of lifetime sitting at my feet with me on the threshold of achieving a long time dream of mine. Who would have thought?

Well that should wrap it up for this entry so until new thoughts emerge I bid you a good day. . .

  1. Thanks for the rv roof and maintenance wish list. One thing I would add to your list would be a roll of Eternabond. It will handle all your rv roof repair needs. It comes in 4 inch and 6 inch, but the 4 inch rolls of what are the most popular.
