http://howtorvgeeks.com/mis...On April 11, 2014, we marked 11 years of full-time RVing. After all this time, we've learned an awful lot about how live on an RV and manage its systems. But that doesn't mean we haven't made mistakes.
As we look back on all the miles we've traveled and places we've been, we remembered one of our very first newbie mistakes. We want to share it here, in the hopes that we can save someone else from going through the same thing.
We thought the water heater in our month-old RV was dead, but that's not exactly how things turned out. Watch the video to find out what happened!
The intro music is my own piano performance of Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag from 1899.

RV AWNING OR SLIDE TOPPERS NEED REPLACING?
Tough Top Awnings are thicker and stronger than OEM fabric and cost far less too. Get higher-quality fabric and save at least half the cost by replacing your RV's awning or slide toppers yourself.
Watch our videos and learn how to do it:

A&E slide topper replacement — http://youtu.be/xDKCSwYXbH0
Carefree slide topper replacement — http://youtu.be/xyLf6ED2YQI

RV Geeks offers basic DIY (do it yourself) RV service, repair, maintenance and travel tips from full-time RVers who have been handling most of their own maintenance since hitting the road in 2003.
Be sure to confirm that all methods and materials used are compatible with your particular recreational vehicle. Every type of motorhome, motorcoach, fifth wheel, travel trailer, bus conversion, camper and toy hauler is different, so your systems may not be the same as ours.

While we're not RV technicians, we're very mechanically inclined and have learned a lot about RV systems over the years. We handle most of our own minor service, maintenance and repair work on our 2005 43' Newmar Mountain Aire diesel pusher. We also maintained our 2002 39' Fleetwood Bounder Diesel during our first two years on the road.
We meet lots of newer RVers who are eager to learn some basics about maintaining and caring for their rigs. After more than a decade on the road, we want to share what we've learned (some of it the hard way). ;-)
We hope our experiences can help other RVers go DIY, saving some time, money and effort, while experiencing the satisfaction of a job well done.
We do not pretend to be experts on any particular RV topic, and mostly know about maintaining our own rig. But lots of things are the same on RVs in general, and diesel pushers in particular.
