Inspect the Roof Seals & Seams
RV roofs should be checked for leaks every three months. Be sure to inspect for any open seams in your roof’s edges, vents, skylights, or air conditioning unit. If you find an open seam, it is important to get a sealant that is compatible with your RV.
Check Your RV’s Batteries
The last thing you want during your next camping trip is to deal with a dead battery. Try to keep it fully charged and if it is approaching the end of its lifespan, go ahead and replace it. Not sure which battery your RV requires? Let Meridian RV’s service department help!
Keep Your Wastewater System in Good Condition
Your RV’s wastewater system requires specific maintenance and chemicals to keep it functioning properly whether it be gray water or black water systems. A total system flush is a great way to prevent buildup and avoid failure.
Replace Your Filters
In addition to routine oil changes, replace the air, fuel, coolant, and hydraulic filters in your RV seasonally. If these are not replaced, your RV is subject to excessive wear and tear to the engine and drivetrain.
