Check Lists for Maintenance

Brought to you by usa on the road

Then when you return home or on a regular schedule you will need to:

Before you Go and Daily checks:

Check your fluids. Remember some RV's have a generator.
  • Oil levels
  • Transmission fluid
  • Coolant level
  • Batteries (Lead Acid battery water levels)
  • Windshield wipers
  • Check your tires and tire pressure. (You should check your tires for proper pressure before you drive, a cold tire will give you a true pressure reading)

Periodic checks and maintenance:

  • Change the oil and lubricate the chassis.
  • Clean battery terminals, lubricate to keep them from corroding (lead acid batteries)
  • Rotate the tires.
  • Check your engine belts for looseness, cracks.
  • Check your engine coolant hoses and the heater hoses.
  • Look for leaks.
  • Keep the engine compartment and generator compartment clean.
  • Check your spare tire for weather checking, check the pressure and inflate as required.
  • Check your suspension air bags, look for damage and weather cracks.
  • Add the Holding Tank Chemical.
  • Add Fresh Water System Freshener.
  • Check the storage areas for damage and loose tie downs.
  • Check your roof pod storage mounting points and tie downs.
  • Over all body for damage, panel fasteners for security when locked.
  • Open the awning and clean out any debris.

To go along with these check lists I have a page called inspections, this will assist you with information on how to check these items and what you should look for. These inspections are mostly common sense and anyone that has maintained a car will agree they are important.
