rv maintenance tips

This is the perfect time of year to explore and travel in your RV. Before you hit the open road, it is crucial to ensure that it is properly maintained and safe. Staying on top of your RV maintenance can save you money and stress in the future.

Here are 5 RV maintenance tips to help keep you safe on the road:

1. Check Your Tires and Wheels

A flat tire or wobbly wheel can be more than inconvenient, it can be dangerous. Before driving your RV, be sure to check your tires and tighten all your lug nuts. Check the pressure of each tire because overinflated or underinflated tires to can lead to serious damage and create hazardous conditions while driving.

2. Clean and Lubricate Your RV Slide-Outs

Create a regular routine of cleaning and lubricating your slide-outs. This is important to keep them operating smoothly. Neglecting your slide-outs could lead to damage to the slider mechanisms. So get some hot soapy water and keep your sliders clean.

3.  Check the RV Batteries

A dead battery in the middle of a camping or road trip is the last thing you want to happen. Ideally, you want to keep your RV battery fully charged at all times. RV batteries typically last 3-5 years. 

4. Change Your  Oil

It is probably best to do oil changes on a seasonal basis since most RVs spend a lot of time parked and out of use. It is imperative to make sure that everything is lubricated and running optimally before taking your RV on the road. For RVs, it’s recommended to change your oil every 3,000-4,000 miles or every year. Skipping oil changes can cause engine damage and can lead to expensive repairs.

5. Find a Safe Place to Park Your RV

When your RV is not is use, you need a safe place to park it. Many RV owners do not have that type of space at their home. In that case, you want to choose safe and affordable RV parking facility. Choose a location with a security gate, plenty of security lighting, and 24 hour access.
