Following are some maintenance and Reminder Tips of RVs
·
Covering Your Roof
When
it’s about RV maintenance, most attention is paid to RV roofs as they are the
most prone to environmental and sun damage, which may lead to issues that often
go unnoticed. The cost of replacing and repairing a RV roof is into thousands.
One of best actions that you can take is keeping your vehicle under a traditional
RV cover.
You
can install steel RV covers which are customizable for meeting size of your
vehicle. Moreover, they often come with up to 40 years of warranty and thereby
providing long lasting protection to roof.
·
Using Your Generator
Keeping
your generator unused for years can cost you its replacement before the
required time. As the life of gasoline is 30 days, beyond that it can damage
internal components of your generator.
Therefore,
it’s important to keep it flowing and use your generator for about two to three
hours monthly. This will keep it ready and primed and will avoid its premature
replacement.
·
Pay Attention to Your Doors, Roof
Seals and Windows
The
common problem with use of RV is moisture which leaks into vehicle through
faulty seals and stripping. Generally, seals degrade with time and some brands
are blatant for not making use of good seals to start with. Once seal starts
breaking, they allow water to come in leading to damage to surface and thereby
promoting mold. Therefore it’s imperative to check seals around doors and
windows every three months or so for ensuring no deterioration and a snug fit.
·
Flat Tyres of Vehicles
Another
important issue is related to flat tyres, which occur if these are incorrectly
inflated or poorly maintained. If you
have never changed your RV’s tyres, it has been suggested by Volkswagen specialist, that you should
double check that jack can easily anchor on your trailer and the wheel brace of
your RV. You can check a new VWcampervan London online.
