Dewinterizing/Once a Year Tasks
Once you pull your RV out of storage and dewinterize, you’ll want to make sure the following annual tasks and checks are performed:
• Clean and flush water system
• Service brakes
• Check for cracks (exterior, seams, seals, etc.) and reseal exterior if cracks are found
• Propane inspection
If you have our RV service department help with these, also have the following taken care of:
• Fluids and filters checked/changed
• Jacks, hinges, and hitches lubricated
Then, mark your calendar for 6 months out for the above two tasks, as they need to be done twice a year.
Monthly Care
Once a month, go through and take care of these quick and easy RV care tasks:
• A/C: clean the vents, filters, and intake
• Check for cracks: it’s easier and less expensive to repair these as you find them! So continue to check monthly even if you have an annual inspection done. Water damage can cause absolute nightmares and costly repairs if it goes without attention.
• Lubricate all slide outs
