If you want your RV to last for years to come, you’ll want to properly care for it. Read on for some do-it-yourself RV maintenance tips.
Check the Appliances
Your appliances are one of the best reasons to get an RV at all. They allow you to bring the modern comforts of home with you on your outdoor vacation. You probably rely on them to provide food, entertainment, and more, so when one cuts out unexpectedly, it can add unnecessary stress to your trip. Take a moment to find out if something’s not working while you’re still close to a trusted technician.
Check the Fluids
As you embark on your various adventures, your RV will guzzle up various fluids that will eventually need to be replaced. It’s important to regularly check the fluids to ensure you’ve got enough for your next trip. Look at the levels of your brake fluids, windshield fluids, and antifreeze/coolant. Top off anything that’s low. If your RV relies on a generator, make sure to service the oil and oil filters.
Check the Tires
You’ll need to keep an eye on your tires to ensure they’re in good shape before every trip. Exposure to heat and dust can cause dry rot to your tires if your RV has been parked for too long. General wear and tear, and deterioration of your treading, will also make you vulnerable to rips, punctures, and blowouts. Ensure that your tires are free of damage and that they have the right air pressure so you can avoid harmful accidents out on the road. If you own a towable RV, be sure to check your tow vehicle’s tires as well.
