Hello! Just purchased my first RV, ended up driving 600 miles from Texas to Illonois to pick it up since this model doesn't appear to be available locally.
I went into this with the expectations that RV's are far from perfect, even new, so I am trying to get everything figured out before I take the family out in it, my first mod is replacing the China bombs with USA Goodyears, I will check the axle grease while I have the wheels off. Other than that I plan to double check the sealant on the whole thing, I've already found a few spots they missed so I need to touch up the sealant. I've also found screws starting to back out, when I got it home one of the exterior screws vibrated out almost an inch and almost fell out. I also found what appears to be bolts for the sidewalls, where it attaches to the frame, the nuts on several were missing and a few more about ready to fall off, they look like 3/8 or so, I planned to put Nylon nuts on there to keep it from happening again.
Does anyone know what kind of sealant Cherokee uses on the sides? It looks mostly clear, feels a lot like silicone but at the same time it seems different.
Any other advice on what to check? I'm mostly worried about water damage and safety. I can't believe the bolts holding the walls to the frame had nuts missing! Thanks everyone!
