If you recently purchased a used RV, the maintenance of your model is likely the furthest thought from your mind right now. However, used RVs are more prone to damage and wear, and it’s important to stay on top of your model’s upkeep to avoid a pricey repair. For tips on how to keep your used RV in good condition, check out our article below.
Regular Inspections
The best way to keep your used RV in good condition is to inspect it regularly. We recommend doing so before and after each trip, as well as every time the seasons change to ensure the change in weather hasn’t resulted in any unexpected repairs. When inspecting your used RV be sure to check the tires, wheel bearings, jacks, engine fluids, and air filters. You’ll also want to inspect the seals on your doors and windows as well as your roof to ensure outside temperatures, precipitation, and debris aren’t slipping in through any cracks.
Professional Tune-Ups
While keeping up with your RV’s maintenance at home is a great start, your used model will still need to be serviced by a professional to catch maintenance issues before they become serious repairs. We recommend having your used RV professionally inspected and serviced at least twice a year—preferably once before placing your RV into winter storage and once after removing it.
