RV Maintenance, Repairs, and Hacks, Oh My!

Ack! RV maintenance never ends…Now our fridge has decided to stop working. This time seems much more serious than that first time I wrote about troubleshooting the Norcold RV Refrigerator in our first rig – more than 15 years ago! And, this has happened not long after finally clearing my honey-do list of RV repairs and maintenance projects. These included replacing our transfer switch, and practically rebuilding the furnace, not to mention more RVDataSat troubleshooting, and more.

So…for this Friday Five, I give you photos from our most popular RV maintenance tips and post about our RV repairs over the past 15+ years

That one dates way back. And yeah, the image was stolen by linking it directly from our site so I added the note.

Our hydraulic trailer disc brake conversion overview has also been pretty popular, and it was a major upgrade so it warrants mentioning here:

Ack again! RV maintenance, website maintenance…this has sent me down a rabbit hole updating old posts and fixing broken links. All while juggling some major client projects, and preparing for another server migration here at the mobile Team Agreda HQ. So for this Friday Five, you actually get five fotos from our fifteen plus years of Live Work Dream Galleries.

  1. We had a refrigerator die when we lived in KS. Everyone said we had to buy a new one until I found a guy in Hutchison that rebuild them. What a pleasant surprise!
    I hope you are repair free for a while!
