Product Description
RV Repair and Maintenance Manual is the most popular resource for owners who prefer to work on their own RVs. The book features step-by-step procedures for maintaining and repairing RVs, presented in easy-to-understand layman's terms and simple-to-follow instructions. The fourth edition has been updated and expanded to keep up with the latest in RV technology and repair procedures. From trouble-shooting guidelines to quick diagnoses and repairs, this manual will keep you rolling down the highway and not in the repair shop. Packed with valuable information, checklists, photos, and charts, the RV Repair and Maintenance Manual includes topics on electrical systems, LP-gas systems, water systems, sanitation systems, AC generators, heating systems, air-conditioning systems, refrigerators, trailer brakes, trailer suspensions, dinghy towing, hitches, drivetrain systems, solar power systems, ovens and ranges, microwaves and ice makers, exterior and interior care, and accessories.

This book was used as a training aid when I worked at an major RV repair shop. I'm glad to finally find an upgraded version for my own use.

we've hoped this book would be as useful as the reviews say.
We've referred to it several times, but it wasn't helpful for us in:
* how to replace a water heater, the different types involved, that an access door is needed to be purchased too.
* how to fix torn awnings.
* how door latches work or can be repaired or replaced.
* what to do if your circuit breakers trip all the time.
* what's involved in replacing the carpet in the rig.
* how to avoid ants at sites, which is a common occurrance.
We finally quit referring to it.
It IS a thick book full of pictures and articles, but it hasn't helped us in real life.
Outstanding! Trouible-Shooting Pages a Superb Value April 2, 2008

My wife inherited a 1988 Winnebago (31 foot, no slide-outs) and we've decided to bring it up to speed for beach trips. This is one of two books I have bought to get started, and it is the better of the two, but I like them both.
This book is absolutely one the best car maintenance books I have ever had the pleasure of using (I also have a 1964 MGB and related maintenance books). This book is brilliantly organized, crystal-clear, and I especially appreciate the full-page trouble-shooting guide with symptoms and fixes in two columns.
I also recommend RV Owner's Handbook, Revised (Rv Owner's Handbook) but I use that for overview reading. If you want only one book, buy the Trailer Life book, it is vastly more detailed and useful with respect to each individual system in any given RV.
I have not bought but want to flag Woodall's RV Owner's Handbook: The Complete, Illustrated Guide to Preventative Maintenance & Repairs for consideration.

I bought my first copy of this book (an older edition) for my MeToo RV (it would be 35 years old, if it's still on the road).
I have bought newer editions as I have bought new RVs (with newer appliances, needing newer information). I have also bought this manual as a present for almost every RVer I know
If you buy ONE RV book, buy this one
This is an excellent book August 18, 2007

I've gotten an earlier edition from the local library 5 times and am buying it today. It seems to have everything I need for repair of everything on my 75 Dodge Class C. And everything in it needs repair
