RV Care and Maintenance of your travel trailer is essential for the longevity of use

RV Care and Maintenance are an essential part of keeping your rv camper looking new. Let's start at the roof. Most camper roofs are rubberized. Be sure to use an approved cleaner made especially for rubber roofs.

Use a soft bristle brush with a handle to scrub with. The roof is safe to stand on, just be careful not to fall off! While you are up there, scrub the air conditioner cover. It will not hurt to put water on it after all it does rain on it. Rinse it throughly to remove all the soap solution.

The siding on your travel trailer needs to be cleaned after each use. You will be surprised how dirty it gets from just one camping trip. Use the same brush you used on the roof and start from the top and go down. You can wax the sides with a good UV wax and it will help remove bugs from the front when you wash it next time.

Be sure to empty the fresh water tank and wash out all hoses used for black water disposal. Check your supplies. Make sure you have plenty of holding tank deodorizer and all switches are off.

Be sure to check your tires for wear. Keep a watch on your tire pressure. Your tires determine the safety of your trip. Don't overload your trailer! Your anti-sway bar needs to be checked for correct use. Make sure to chock the wheels when parked to keep it from rolling. With a little RV care and maintenance, your travel trailer will last you a long time. You will want to go camping every weekend!

Now is a good time to check all exterior lights. Make sure the covers are not broken from road debris. Always check your lights before leaving on any trip. Make sure the tail lights and brake lights work.

Check out all the RV videos and books available to help you preserve your travel trailer. You can even download some of them right into your computer, save and read it anytime you wish. You will find many helpful tips and hints from a pro camper.
