 It's already the last day of February! We are only 3 months away from summer and those fun summer road-trip vacations. With the holidays behind us, it is the perfect time to start showing your RV some attention. Below you will find our recommendations to keeping your RV (or any vehicle that sits for long periods of time) properly lubricated and ready for use when you are.
1. Start and drive once a month. Fully warmed up and drive at least 30 miles. 2. Oil change every 3,000 miles or 3 months. Always perform an oil change before a trip. 3. Have the house batteries plugged in to keep charge. 4. Check water in batteries 5. Sunshades on tires, curtains drawn in windows 6. Check air pressure in tires 7. Keep at least 1/2 a tank of fuel to prevent rust 8. Check air bags once a month 9. Frequently check for rodents, inside and out. If rodents are found, an 8ft leash and a killer yard cat are suggested. 10. Start and run the generator on the monthly drive. We hope that these recommendations help you keep your RV in tip-top shape. If there is anything we here at The Dyno Shop can do for you, give us a call 619-562-3933

It's good to know that you should check the water in the batteries and the tire air pressure. My husband and I are planning on storing our RV for winter in a couple of weeks, and we wanted to know some tips on how to care for it while it's in storage. We'll make sure to keep these tips in mind once we find a storage unit for it to stay in for the winter! 3/10/2022 05:54:50 pm
I didn't know that you were supposed to get an oil change every 3000 miles. I need to get a new gasket for my RV. I'll have to consider hiring a mechanic to check it out. 11/24/2022 11:30:41 pm
I'm glad you talked that checking the tires of your RV could help prevent RV problems. I have a cousin who has an RV, he was hoping to find an RV service because he's not able to use it because of a transmission problem due to a lack of maintenance. Thank you for the tips on how he could find a service that can help him with his concern, I'll tell him the advice that I learned so that he can use his RV again. Leave a Reply. |
