Making general maintenance a routine can help you avoid heavy duty clean up or and help to prevent costly repairs. Keep an eye on things like…

1. Bolts, Screws, and Belts

The most basic pieces to the puzzle of your engine make it run, so make sure they’re screwed in tight, and clean!

2. Oil levels and Filters

These are hugely important to avoiding mechanical problems with your RV. Keep up on changing your oil, and watch out for leaks!

3. Dust and Dirt

Heavy dust and dirt can cause major breakdowns, so keep your engine and battery as clean as possible!

4. Tires

They connect you to the road…make sure they’re in top shape before heading out on any big trips! Check for uneven tread wear on your tires, dents in your rims, and proper inflation pressure.

5. Drain your Hot Water Heater

Make sure you drain your hot water heater tank at least once every 6 months to keep it running in top shape!
