Time for Fall RV Maintenance:Prepare Your RV for Winter
As the vibrant days of summer give way to the crisp air of autumn, it’s time to prepare your RV for the coming winter. Whether you’re storing your RV or planning to brave the cold for winter camping adventures, fall maintenance is crucial to keep your RV in top shape.
Roof Maintenance: Protect Your Investment
Regular roof inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure your RV is always adventure-ready. Water intrusion is the leading cause of severe damage in RVs, often turning minor issues into costly repairs. We recommend conducting roof inspections and spot sealing at least twice a year to extend the life of your RV’s roof. Regular inspections help you identify damage and potential water intrusion early, allowing for timely roof maintenance like resealing.
Winterizing Your RV Water System: Avoid Costly Repairs
Properly winterizing your water system prevents plumbing leaks caused by frozen pipes. No one wants to discover a plumbing leak or a cracked water heater when spring arrives. If you’re storing your RV for the winter, antifreeze is the most reliable method. However, if you plan to camp during the winter and continue using your water system, consider using air to blow out the water lines. Check out this helpful article from The RV Geeks for a detailed comparison of both methods. We offer both winterizing methods to suit your needs.
For full-time RVers, ensuring your water system survives the winter is possible with RV skirting, heated hoses, and additional insulation.
Power Washing Your RV Waste Holding Tanks: Start Fresh
Deep cleaning your RV waste holding tanks before winter is a must. Even with regular flushing and the use of treatments, residue can build up over time, leading to unpleasant odors and sensor malfunctions. Struvite, a naturally occurring substance in waste systems, can add weight to your tanks and interfere with sensor accuracy. To avoid these issues, have your waste tanks power-washed, leaving them squeaky clean before winter storage. Check out this insightful article from The RV Geeks to understand what happens in your RV waste holding tanks and why your sensors might stop working.
