Prep Your RV For Spring

Check the tires.

There are a few things to check on your RV tires before they hit the road.

• Check the tire pressure. Tires should be inflated to their recommended PSI, which is usually printed on the sidewall of each tire. If you don’t know what that number is, ask your mechanic or look it up online (it will be different for every vehicle).
• Check tread depth. Tire treads are measured in 32nds of an inch; if you can see less than 2/32nds of an inch, it’s time for new tires! You’ll also want to check for cracks or bulges in the sidewalls; these indicate damage that could lead to blowouts while driving down the highway at high speeds–not fun!
• Check wear and tear–both inside and out–and replace any damaged parts immediately so they don’t cause problems later on down the road when they’re needed most.*Check alignment.*If your wheels seem crooked when looking straight ahead from inside your cab, then this could mean trouble: An improperly aligned wheel won’t roll smoothly across uneven surfaces like dirt roads or rough pavement without causing vibrations that may throw off other parts within its hub assembly such as bearings etcetera…

Lubricate the slide mechanisms.

The slides on your RV are what make it possible to have a floor-to-ceiling living space. They can also be a pain if they don’t work properly, so it’s important to make sure they’re in good working order before you hit the road.

To do this, you’ll need:

• WD-40 or another lubricant (do not use WD-40 on aluminum parts)
• A rag or towel

Clean the awning rails and canopy frame.

The rails and canopy frame are the most important areas to clean, as they get dirty quickly when exposed to the elements. Use a hose with a nozzle attachment to wash down the frame, then use a soft brush or cloth to remove any dirt that remains on it. You can use a similar process on your RV’s fabric covering (the part of your awning that covers you when it rains), but be sure not to get too close with either water or cleaning products–you don’t want them seeping into sensitive components like electrical wiring!

Clean your RV refrigerator coils and hoses.

Cleaning the refrigerator coils is easy. Simply remove them from the inside of your RV and wipe them down with a damp cloth, or use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris. After cleaning, replace them in their original position, making sure they’re seated correctly before securing them with screws or clamps.

Clean hose fittings are also important for keeping your RV’s refrigerator running efficiently–and if you don’t clean these parts regularly, they can become blocked by dirt and grime over time. To clean these fittings:

• Remove any loose debris from around the area where you’ll be working (e.g., on top of an outside stepladder).
• Unscrew each screw holding together each hose connection point until it comes apart; then remove any clamps that may be present as well

Inspect the batteries, solar panels and inverter.

• Inspect the batteries, solar panels and inverter.
• Check the battery levels. If you don’t know what kind of RV you have, ask an expert or look it up online. Then read up on how to check your specific type of batteries–some are more complicated than others!
• Look at the solar panels and inverter to make sure they’re in good shape before spring rolls around. They should be clean and free from cracks or other damage that could cause leaks, which could damage their performance over time if left unchecked during this inspection period

Spring is a great time to get ready for the season. With these simple maintenance tasks, you can ensure that your RV is in top shape and ready for any adventure!
