Rolling Smooth: Keeping Your Rig Road-Ready

The RV problems that cost you the most are the ones you didn't see coming.

After years on the road and three different rigs, Stan Cromlish thought he had it figured out. Then he had Bertie Bea — his 2016 Tiffin Allegro Open Road 34PA — professionally weighed in 2025 and discovered she was 1,450 pounds over her Gross Vehicle Weight Rating.

He'd been hauling around a portable satellite dish from 2020 that he hadn't touched since upgrading to Starlink. Light bulbs that only fit fixtures in a rig he'd sold years ago. Three spare sewer hoses. A bin full of mystery tools.

That's RV life. And Keeping Your Rig Road-Ready is the book that helps you get ahead of it.

Inside, you'll find:

• Weight, GVWR, and why most RVers are unknowingly overloaded
• How to get a proper four-corner weigh and what to do with the numbers
• Tire pressure, aging, DOT codes, and when to replace — explained in plain English
• Towing and towables: how to match your trailer to the right tow vehicle (and why most people do it backward)
• Motorhome classes — gas, diesel, Class A, B, C, and Super C — and how weight plays differently in each
• Maintenance systems that keep you rolling instead of waiting on a mobile tech
• The real-world checklist Stan uses before every departure on Bertie Bea

This is the troubleshooter's book. It's for the RVer who wants to understand their rig — not just drive it — and who'd rather catch a problem in a campground than on the side of an interstate.
