RVs with Motors

When you have a drivable RV, you’ll have a few additional tasks to complete, mainly engine care. You’ll want to complete regular oil and filter changes and monitor the condition of your fuel tank! 

1. Inspections

All RVs need to undergo regular inspections in order to receive the best maintenance. This should include tires, moving parts, electronic components, A/C and heating units, tanks, walls, interior, and exterior areas. 

2. Cleaning

You’ll want to keep your RV clean as well, which is a major part of maintenance. Clean out the undercarriage of your RV regularly to get rid of any debris or dirt buildup that could cause problems down the line and make sure the interior is clean and comfortable for travel!

3. Brakes

Whether you have a driveable RV or a pull-behind, you should check the brakes regularly for functionality. Trailer brakes are important for towing and obviously you want safe brakes if you’re driving! 

4. Wiring

Keep an eye on any exposed wiring or hoses for signs of corrosion or wear; replace these components as soon as you notice anything amiss. This might include connections or your appliances. 

5. Lights

Your interior and exterior lights will also be an important part of your maintenance routine! Always check your trailer brakes, headlights, and interior bulbs.
