RV Fall Maintenance Checklist
Schedule Roof Inspection
Nobody wants a leaky roof – with the season turning, be sure to inspect your RV roof and seals, searching for any cracks, tears or signs of membrane wear. The seals around your RV roof’s vents, skylights and seams should also be free of damage. If you notice anything, schedule RV roof repair and maintenance in Melbourne, FL with our service center.
Winterize Your RV’s Plumbing
If summer winding down means an end to this year’s trips, be sure to winterize your RV plumbing system by draining and flushing the fresh water tank, as well as adding antifreeze to the plumbing lines to prevent freezing. If necessary, drain the water heater and bypass it.
Properly winterizing and de-winterizing your RV is key to sustained performance and longevity for your vehicle!
Check the Propane and Heating Systems
Ensure your RV propane system doesn’t have any leaks, and that each propane appliance works as it should. Then, clean and vacuum the fresh air intake grille of the heating system to remove any dust, debris and pet hair, if applicable.
Inspect the heating vents for any obstructions and test the thermostat to make sure it works well.
Generator and Oil Care
Test your generator to make sure it functions correctly. If needed, be sure to change the oil and air filters, as well.
