What Kind of Maintenance Does My RV Need?

Think of your RV like a house on wheels—it needs both vehicle and home care. The basics:

Engine, Tires & Chassis (if motorhome):

Oil changes, tire pressure checks, and brake service just like a car.

Roof & Seals

Inspect and reseal at least twice a year to prevent leaks.

Tanks & Plumbing:

Flush tanks regularly and use RV-safe chemicals.

Battery & Electrical:

Keep batteries charged and check connections.

Appliances & Propane:

Test before trips and check propane lines for leaks.

A good rule: monthly checks when in use, seasonal checks if stored. This prevents costly issues later.
