All the loose screws are not only in your head

You and your rig bounce down a lot of highways, in and out of potholes and over crumbling pavement. And since today's governments are coming up short of maintenance funds, a lot (most?) of these potholes and broken pavements go unrepaired.

Over time, these often hard to avoid hazards can vibrate screws loose--and not only in your head, but in your rig also--and cause things to come loose and pressure water system joints to leak.

Make a point to regularly peek into the hidden spaces of your rig to check for signs of water leaks and screws working loose. Tighten the loose screws, but also don't neglect tightening leaking water system joints immediately or you may find yourself with a rotting subfloor and a big repair bill.
