RV Maintenance & Repair: Tips to Keep You Home on Wheels in Top Shape

Your RV is not just a vehicle; it's your home on wheels, your gateway to adventure, and a place where countless memories are made. To ensure your RV continues to provide you with comfort and reliability, regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial.

 

We offer some essential tips to help you keep your home on wheels in top shape.

Regular Inspections:

Perform routine inspections of your RV's exterior, including the roof, windows, and seals, to identify any signs of damage or leaks. Don't forget to check the tires, brakes, and suspension for proper functionality and wear.

Fluid Checks and Changes (If applicable):

Regularly check and change the engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and brake fluid. Don't overlook the generator's oil and fuel filters as well. Regular fluid maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your RV's engine and systems.

Electrical System:

Test all electrical components, including lights, outlets, and appliances, to ensure they are functioning correctly. Keep an eye out for loose connections and frayed wires. Carry spare fuses and bulbs for quick replacements.

Plumbing and Water Systems:

Inspect and clean the water tanks, filters, and lines regularly. Check for leaks and ensure the water heater and pump are working efficiently. Don't forget to drain and winterize the plumbing system if you're not using the RV during the colder months.

Proactive Repairs:

Address any minor issues promptly before they turn into major problems. Regularly lubricate hinges, locks, and slide-outs. Keep an eye on seals and caulking, resealing as necessary to prevent water damage.

 

Follow these tips and enjoy worry-free travels.
