• How Can I Tell What Roof Membrane My 2000 Dutchman Aerolite Cub TT Has?
• I don't know what type of roof is on your 2000 Dutchman Aerolite Cub TT however I can help you determine what roof you have. TPO is going to be on the thicker side (1.1mm - 2mm) than the EDPM membrane, and also has rubbery feel to it. EDPM on the other hand is going to have a smooth finish to it compared to the TPO, and it is also going to be quite a bit thinner at around .40mm - .90mm. As far as repair kits go that does depend on what you're needing done. For instance, we have the Alpha...

• Do I Need To Replace My RV Ladder Or Just Repair It After Hit By A Tree
• Yeah those trees really hate ladders and AC units let me tell you. If the ladder or any part of it was bent I recommend replacing it on the grounds of safety issues. Once aluminum is bent it looses a large amount of structural integrity. No one needs to fall off their RV while climbing the ladder to the roof. We have the Stromberg Carlson RV Exterior Ladder w/ Hinges - Aluminum - 99-1/2" T x 12" W - Black # LA-401BA. This comes with all the hardware you need to replace the old unit. We...

• What Is the Warranty of the etrailer 3,200-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generator
• The 3,200-Watt Portable RV Inverter Generator part # 333-0003 comes with a two year warranty. That said, we have had extremely positive reviews from these generators so it is unlikely you would ever need to use the warranty. We also have tons of replacement parts if anything were to happen outside of the warranty period as well. In regards to repairs, the amount of time to complete this would largely vary based on the issue. The headquarters for Firman (manufacturer) is located in AZ so...

• Will Installing SSR54FR SoftStart For RV AC Units Have Any Warranty Implications
• Your AC warranty is protected by the by the federal Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and/or the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. In the real world though, it's certain that a manufacturer such as Dometic would have more than a few attorneys at their disposal that could make simply replacing an AC unit less expensive than fighting a warranty denial. All this being said, SoftStart RV states on their website, and...

• Why Are There Both Round and Square Trailer Axles Used on RVs
• Most of the OEM axles installed in RVs and most of the replacement axles we offer are indeed round in cross section. We do offer some square stub spindles for use on square axles, such as # TRU97FR, but these are usually limited to lower capacities like utility trailer applications. We do not have the ability to ship high-capacity axles due to their weight.

• What to Do if My Trailer Vent Lid is Flapping When Driving Down the Road
• It really depends on what you mean when you say flapping. If it is more of a rattle then a cover like the Fan-Tastic Vent Ultra Breeze Trailer Roof Vent Cover # DMC38FR could be the solution that you need. The # DMC38FR cover would protect your vent from wind damage and also allow you to leave the your vent open while traveling if you choose to. If the flapping is more of the entire lid opening all the way open then it may be something that could potentially be fixed with a part. If you...

• My Dometic Toilet Will Not Hold Water Is The Bowl What Do I Do?
• This is a known issue with some of these Dometic toilets here within the last year or so. The bowl seal may have a very slight deformity and it allows water to leak out. This will be covered under warranty thru Dometic. If the unit has not been used you can send it back and get a new unit. If it has been used/installed, obviously we could not accept a return, and Dometic would have you take it to one of their technicians for inspection/repair.

• Ratings For LaSalle Bristol XTRM Universal Non-Sag Sealant
• This is exactly the type product to use for sealing a roof seam on an RV, it is designed to seal the roof membrane edges and vertical surfaces.

As with most sealants, they do not have warranties...

• How To Correctly Measure RV Vent Opening
• In order to properly measure your RV's vents, you will want to measure the size of the rough opening in your RV's roof. This can be measured by removing the garnish around the vent on the inside of the RV and measuring the size of the rough opening. The most common RV vent's measurements are 14" x 14" like the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Thermostat # MA00-06200K.

We also have cargo carriers like the # 63153. This is a 24" by 60" platform rated for 500 lbs. Unfortunately there is not...

• Side Marker Light For Furrion Vision S Camera System
• For the left side marker cameras for your Furrion Vision S camera system, since you have already checked the wiring and tried to re-pair it to the monitor, you will need to replace the cameras. Sometimes with the far rear camera there can be interference with the monitor, but for the side cameras that is not an issue, so what you have is a bad camera. There isn't just a single replacement available, so you'll need to get the pair of side marker lights, which are the following part: -...
