Waxed my 2018 HW296

Gave it a good waxing, Rockwood recommends to wax it 3 times a year.
My Dash enjoying himself already.

looks great! I need to wax mine soon - had it for about 9 months and haven't done it yet. What type of wax did you use?

Looking good....

I wax mine once a year but wash it after each trip and we do about 6 camping trips a year. So I probably should wax it more!

I use turtle wax....

A clean camper is a happy camper. I just put some wash and wax on my silverback yesterday. I still want to to a heavy wax job though.

Hi, I don’t mean to change the subject but I just bought the 18’ 396HW as well and I have it in the service department already after 2 weeks getting what appears to be sloppy workmanship from the factory fixed, I.e.: all 4 post caps are bent with sloppy caulking, moldy plywood under both beds, several screws poking through walls, and a bunch other minor stuff. I don’t mean to be picky but I believe that if I’m spending that kind of money this stuff shouldn’t look like that, it should be new looking and clean. Anyone else have these probs with there new pop up? Thanks

Typical RV issues. Good thing is that they are happy to fix everything. Mine came with a bowed roof, which they acknowledged before I took delivery, and replaced for me at the end of the season.

I feel like my HW296 is a great unit, but like the three other popups I've owned before it, there are a handful of little things that annoy, such as loose screws, mismatched alignments on canvas, etc. The quality of the components is fine, and this is the best camper I have ever owned, but it's the assembly that seems to be where the issues are.
