We may sell our 5th wheel and get a TC instead for this very reason. Not to mention the RV makers don't seem to care about mouse proofing(that's another topic) and that can be a major source of damage. A TC seems more manageable and easier to seal up. It's disgraceful how many mice/rat access point are in the so-called sealed underbelly. You’re 100% right about different types requiring different maintenance.

While not all require caulking or bearing packing, they may need other items. Large DP's run wet hubs requiring no packing. As far as sealing roofs are concerned, I've never had an issue over the years ever requiring such work. I fell once to a dealer insisting it sould be done. Two days after that I had a major leak. If it is not broken don't fix it. Thanks for your valued imput. 5th_wheel, Different RV types and sizes vary the cost somewhat.

The HST is based on a privince having a provincial sales tax. Alberta rules! Thanks for getting back on that. Liz, You are probably correct.

Unless you do your own work. Caulking the regular cracking Dicor alone is $150 per year. A leak test at a shop is $99. Then you have to repack bearings etc. It's looking like $500 per year at least for maintenance. That figure for maintenance is really low. Unless you do your own work.

But, as do the rest of Canadians, we pay the Goods and services tax (GST). In some provinces, GST has been blended with the PST and is called harmonized sales tax. Since no PST exists in Alberta, and I could find no reference to it, for Alberta, in our CCRA web-site, I have to assume that the HST will not apply, and we will continue to be exempt from the tax even after 2010.
