roof inspection

[warway]

I had a call from my dealer and told me that we had to bring our trailers in once a year to the purchase dealer to get roof inspected, any truth in this?

 

[Campers-THOR]

Yes. Read your Redwood Owners Manual. All coaches must be inspected every year to validate the warranty.

 

[5th_Time-REDW]

I've heard insurance companies also require this.

I don't think you are required to return to the selling Dealer, it just has to be an authorized Redwood Service Center

I doubt that insurers would want to do annual inspections of the roof. I can't speak about in the US, but I have never been asked in Canada & I'm an agent. Most agents wouldn't know what to look for.

I wouldn't take mine back to the purchase dealer to have them check the air in my tires. The Texas dealers, "Explore USA", seem to have tons to sell, but not even a tin shed for a repair department. A 10 amp fuse shut my jack system down. Couldn't move, period. They told me I should have purchased the extended warranty and I would have had towing. I asked how it could be towed with the jacks down. This turned into a rather heated argumet and was barred from returning to any of the Texas Explore USA dealerships. Does't effect me any since I wasn't planning to anyway.

Put a 10 amp manual reset fuze in. Works like a champ.

 

[5th_Time-REDW]

Ha ha. In the states, the agents don't go up on the roof to inspect.
The insurers ask for a dealer's inspection that the roof has integrity and checked for leaks. No inspection, no coverage for water damage.

 

[Krauser]

Can you give a part number for that?

 

[Adamsvr]

The manual 10 Amp fuze is a Bussman 22310-000 24VDC 10Amp S25. Haven't had a problem with the hydraulic system since I installed it.

One thing I discovered is not holding the extend/retact switches too long after the slides go in or out. That seems to blow the automotive fuzes.

 

[warway]

Heard from Redwood that we don't have to go to dealer where purchased, any authorized will do.

 

[DonMac-REDW]

Can you tell me were this fuse is located on the rig. Want to replace mine.

 

[Adamsvr]

The fuse is located in the battery compartment in the wiring bundle on the right side about half way up in the back of the bundle. It should be in a small plastic housing.

It blows when you hold the extend/retract slide switches too long.Good luck.
