    Weekend Mechanic Bruce Bonebrake performs routine maintenance checks on the RV before hitting the road. Checks include propane-gas and water connections, electrical systems and safety equipment.

    Traveling in an RV can be lots of fun. But to make your travels trouble-free, it's important to keep an RV in good condition. Typical RV maintenance is demonstrated in this show, beginning with the brakes. The aging electronic brakes are replaced and the wheel bearings repacked. An electric tongue-jack is added, and the gas, water and electrical systems are checked to make sure they are working right. A leaky roof vent is replaced with a new vent and rain-cover. To top it all off, a new RV satellite dish is installed on the roof and checked for reception.
