Winter is a great time to take care of RV maintenance, repairs and upgrades. When you’re not traveling as often, you have an opportunity to get your RV into the shop and address problems before spring camping season arrives.
RV spring preparation can start now.
Additionally, instead of waiting for your first trip, use the winter months to inspect, service, and improve your RV.
Check Your Bearings & Brakes
Wheel bearings and brakes are important maintenance items on towable RVs.
Winter is a good time to inspect the bearings.
Additionally, the hubs and braking system should be checked for wear or needed repairs.
Taking care of these items now can help prevent last-minute surprises before your first spring trip.
Inspect the Suspension
Leaf springs, shackles, bushings, equalizers, hangers and other suspension components experience significant stress while traveling.
Have your suspension inspected for worn, loose, bent or damaged components.
Additionally, if you’re looking to improve your RV before the next travel season, consider a suspension upgrade in winter.
Take Care of Roof Repairs
Don’t ignore your RV roof just because you’re not camping.
Inspect the roof membrane, sealants, seams, vents and skylights for deterioration or potential leak concerns. Catching a small roof problem during winter may help prevent costly water damage.
Upgrade Your Batteries & Solar
Thinking about improving your RV’s electrical system?
Winter is a good time to consider battery replacements, lithium battery upgrades, solar systems, inverters, and other electrical improvements without taking time away from your camping season.
Service Your RV Appliances
Check your refrigerator, water heater, furnace, and air conditioner before you need them.
Preventative appliance maintenance can help identify problems early instead of discovering them at the campground.
Don’t Forget the Slide-Outs
Slide-outs should also be inspected and maintained. Depending on the system, service may include checking seals, mechanisms, lubrication points, adjustments and slide toppers.
Schedule an RV inspection.
Not sure what your RV needs?
A professional inspection can help identify maintenance concerns. It gives you time to prioritize repairs before spring.
Beat the Spring Rush
Once warmer weather arrives, RV repair shops can become much busier as owners prepare for camping season.
Winter gives you time to handle maintenance, repairs and upgrades now. So your RV can be ready when you’re ready to travel.
