Title: Uh Oh-- Why you have to pay attention
Post by: steve31 on November 08, 2019, 12:30:43 pm
Before we roll I always try to crawl around and give the rig the once over. Had the rig home this week installing the RV cell phone boost system so while dry and warm got under and there it is. Leaking rear axle seal. Just started it appears. Got an appointment Monday to get it fixed. Heading for the CA Chapter Rally in Temecula next weekend. A lot easier and a lot less stressful to find and fix here than on the side of the road on the Grapevine

For those of us too decrepit to crawl around under the coach, it's sure a good idea to park the coach on a slab every once in a while; it was the only way I noticed a seal leak.  ^.^d

Replaced a front seal yesterday.. For those that don't do crawling well anymore you can get on your knees at side of the coach and shine a flash light to the wall of the tire on the opposite side of the coach and see any lube that would be leaking from a seal.
