Required RV Maintenance Schedule

BEFORE YOUR TRIP:

  • Check tires (pressure, tread wear, sidewalls for cracks)

  • Check torque on wheel nuts

  • Inspect hitching system (trailer & vehicle) for deficiencies

  • Test lights (brake, signal, and running lights)

  • Check awning operation & ensure travel locks are engaged (if applicable)

  • Verify all gear (water/sewer hoses, water regulator, portable appliances) is present & in good condition

  • Check battery fluid levels & top up with distilled water if needed

  • Charge battery

  • Check fire extinguisher pressure & condition

  • Ensure LP tanks are full

AFTER YOUR TRIP:

  • Clean your RV to prevent black streaks & maintain appearance

  • Clean your awning

  • Empty & thoroughly flush all holding tanks

  • Empty & clean the fridge, placing door clips in for airflow when not in use.

TWICE A YEAR (SPRING & FALL):

  • Inspect roof & clean to prevent early deterioration

  • Check roof seals & vents for cracks or damage; reseal if needed

  • Walk around the unit & inspect moldings & exterior sealant for deficiencies

  • Inspect undercarriage (look for leaks, loose wires, or other issues)

  • Check slide operation & ensure slide seals are in good condition

  • Clean & lubricate steps for smooth operation

  • Lubricate door locks

  • Check battery terminals for corrosion; clean with wire brush if needed

  • If exterior paint protection wasn't purchased, wax trailer twice per year

ONCE A YEAR:

  • Repack wheel bearings (grease fittings alone are not sufficient, as this may cause an over-greasing situation which could damage your brakes)

  • Check brakes (best done while servicing bearings)

  • Perform propane leak & pressure test

  • Test appliances by lighting them at the start of the season

  • Check & test detectors (smoke, propane, carbon monoxide); replace batteries if needed

  • Ensure no detectors are expired
