Tips to Maintain and Upkeep your New Motorhome

May 20, 2022 by Ally Leave a Comment

As your new motorhome ages, it is recommended to maintain it properly. To ensure optimal performance, you should regularly service the vehicle and apply maintenance to avoid any issues.

New motor home has many moving components and systems, so it’s essential to make sure everything is in working order. However, the first and the foremost is to buy motorhome insurance.

Furthermore, we’ll provide you with some valuable guidelines for keeping your motorhome in top condition.

Start from the roof

Several factors can damage your roofs, such as roof seams and vent seals. When inspecting your roof, look for signs of a leak, such as water damage on surrounding walls or ceilings or gaps between the roof material and ceiling panels.

If you see these signs, contact your motorhome manufacturer to schedule an appointment with a professional repairman to correct the problem before it becomes more serious.

Wheel lug nuts and tire pressure

Whether you’re leaving on an RV adventure or just going out for a weekend getaway, it’s crucial to have the proper tools and keep specific items handy.

While tackling the road ahead, remember all of the safety steps that must be taken, including checking your lug nuts and tire pressure. Frequently, people don’t make this a priority when setting off, but it is necessary to safeguard your well-being throughout the travel.

Maintain the batteries

RV batteries are one of the most vital accessory to maintain when owning your vehicle. However, if the batteries are not in good condition, you run the risk of needing to jump it to start it up or, even worse: dying from a bad battery.

To maintain your RV batteries, check your water levels and add distilled water. You should also check the charge status regularly by using a multi-meter or hydrometer. Finally, find out what type of battery and how it works for your motorhome.

Waste water management

Waste water systems are designed to be self-maintaining, and in most instances, they are. Still, you should always check the tank levels before leaving your RV and make necessary adjustments.

In addition, make sure that you clean out the black water tank regularly; leaving any waste in a tank will cause it to get smelly and can lead to damage to your motorhome over time.

Brake Maintenance

Once you plan to hit the road on your next journey, make sure your RV’s brakes are in good working order. It’s necessary to keep your RV’s brakes in good working order for your safety and the safety of others on the road.

Maintain the wheel bearings throughout the summer by keeping them clean and greased. Also, make frequent checks to ensure that everything is working properly.

Check the air, fuel, and other fluids

To keep your motorhome maintenance-free and smooth, you need to replace the air, fuel, coolant, and hydraulic filters. The new trend is changing oil, air, and fuel filters at once for maximum performance. This will increase your engine’s life span and improve gas mileage.
