Tim: Well Al what Tips do you have for us?
Al:
1 It is a good idea for customers to consult with RV Techs about hitch applications and requirements.
2 Have your brake and bearings inspected before the season starts.
3 There are Spring Loaded Pins available for front fifth wheel jacks, these make for easy raising and lowering.
4 If you have a fifth wheel slide it is a good idea to use a wet lube for annuAl maintenance.
5 When you are planning to purchase a new unit it is important to know your tow rating.
6 When you are getting ready for your trip it is a good idea to check All appliances and electricAl systems.
7 Use slide-out rubber seAl treatment for All your slide seAls (Finn & Bulb).
8 InstAll a Telfon disc to the pin on your fifth wheel.
9 One of the most important things is to make sure the propane bottles are full. There is nothing worse than getting
to your site and finding out you have little or no propane to BBQ with. Secondly, it is
very important to have your propane stored in a secure place where it won't move around or fAll over.
FinAlly, make sure when you set up your BBQ that you try to be as level as possible.
Tim: Before we BBQ, Al, we should start a campfire?
Al Exactly Tim let's do it.
Tim: Good thought Al but fire bans are being posted around the area.
Al: Tim the folks at Arbutus RV have the perfect solution. They sell propane fire pits to give you the perfect and
safe campfire for you to enjoy.They have 2 styles to choose from, The Pacific Rim and the Yukon and
they both have their own regulator and hose and these fire pits will give you between 8 to 10 hours of warmth and atmosphere on a 20lb tank.
Tim: Well that just sounds fantastic Tim, but with summer fire bans on, what precautions should we take when using our BBQ and Firepits?
Al: Tim you ask great questions! You should have a fire extinguisher beside your cooking and campfire
rated at least 5-B:C. Again the folks at Arbutus RV can you help with
your extinguisher selections.
Tim: Al can you tell our readers about the RVQ?
Al: That would be my pleasure Tim. The RVQ is attached to your unit on a bar that
holds it in place. It comes with it's own hose and is attached to the LPG
line that is under the unit into the quick connect fitting. The good folks at
Arbutus RV can assist in purchase and instAllation of the "RVQ".
Tim: Wow what a system Al. Tell me, what if I go out and buy the "RVQ" at Arbutus RV
and I come home and look at my unit it doesn't have the LPG line?
Al: Simple answer to your question Tim. Arbutus RV can instAll the LPG line with
the quick connect vAlve.
Tim Any more thoughts for our readers Al?
Al: Tim All of us in the Arbutus family hope everybody has a great summer season and a reminder at the end of the season
to have your LPG system checked by Arbutus Gas Certified Tech, as All of those nasty little creatures love to make
nests in your Fridge and Hot Water Heater. Also it is a
good Time to have your breaks and bearings checked. Again the good folks at Arbutus RV can assist you in getting
this work done.
