Learn Your RV The Right Way, Before Problems Occur
Just purchased an RV? Whether brand new or used — the best investment you can make BEFORE you hit the road is learning how to properly operate, maintain and care for it.
At California RV Specialists, we offer professional RV walk-throughs designed to teach you how your RV systems work, how to use them safely, and how to avoid the most common early owner mistakes that lead to expensive repairs later.
This service is perfect for first-time RV owners, new RV upgrades, or anyone who wants peace of mind knowing they understand their equipment.
What We Cover During Your RV Walk Through
- Electrical system operation & battery power management
- Understanding fresh, gray & black holding tanks
- Safe & proper propane system use
- Appliance function, operation & basic troubleshooting
- Slide-out systems & leveling system operation
- Roof care tips, sealant importance & leak prevention
- Recommended service intervals & preventative maintenance guidance
We teach REAL WORLD usage — not just sales floor education.

Learning your RV from a repair-based point of view helps you:
- Avoid costly mistakes
- Know what to watch for
- Understand proper ongoing maintenance
- Catch issues before they become major failures
- Travel with confidence, not guessing

Prepare to take your new RV out on a shakedown trip
You’ve taken your walk-through class, now you have a good understanding of how your new rig works. But, what’s next? A shakedown trip. The best shakedown trip is one that’s taken close to home. As long as you have access to water and electricity, you should be able to give your new or use RV a good once-over during your shakedown trip. Taking a shakedown trip is also a good opportunity to understand what equipment you should be stocking your new RV with when heading out for your next RV vacation.
Have fun and travel safely… Dustin, Ashley and the Crew.
