The Importance of Regular RV Maintenance

As an RV owner, you know that your vehicle is an investment in your freedom and adventure. To keep your RV in top condition and ensure it remains a safe and reliable companion on the road, regular maintenance is essential. We’ve seen firsthand how quickly mold and water damage can spread when maintenance is neglected. In some cases, this can lead to costly repairs or even render an RV unsalvageable. By prioritizing regular inspections and maintenance, you can help prevent these issues from arising in the first place.

Commonly Overlooked Items

Roof Inspection

A thorough roof inspection is crucial to identify potential sources of water leaks, cracks in sealant, or damage to membranes. At RV Geek, we recommend regular inspections to catch these issues before they become major problems. In fact, many manufacturer warranties require inspections at shorter intervals than you might think – sometimes as frequently as every 90 days or less! During an inspection, our experts will examine the roof membrane for signs of wear, cracked or failing sealants and damged skylights

Bulb Seals

Other critical systems in your RV also require regular maintenance to ensure safe and reliable operation. At RV Geek, we recommend inspecting and maintaining components like slide-outs, door and window seals, and batteries prevent unexpected probelms. An ounce of prevention is work a pound of cure.

Wheels/Brakes

Neglecting wheel bearings and brake inspections can have disastrous consequences for your camper. Warn wheel bearings or out-of-adjustment brakes can leave you stranded or even cause an accident. At RV Geek, we recommend annual or 10,000-mile inspections to prevent these types of disasters. Even if you’ve got E-Z Lube hubs on your camper, it’s still crucial annually inspect, as always following your manufacturer recommendations.

Environmental

Environmental control systems are just as crucial as other maintenance tasks for your camper’s comfort, efficiency, and safety. Neglecting these systems can lead to wasted fuel, reduced airflow, or even carbon monoxide poisoning. At RV Geek, we recommend annual inspections and maintenance for your camper’s environmental controls to guarantee optimal performance, efficiency, and safety – ensuring you and your loved ones stay comfortable and safe.

All Maintenance is required to be performed at manufacturer interval.
