RV Owner Maintenance Tips
We want you to have the best RV experience possible. Here are some standard maintenance and inspection tips to help keep your RV safe and dependable:
Brakes
Have your RV or trailer brakes inspected annually—or more often with heavy use. Properly serviced brakes are critical for safe stopping.
Tires
- Check your tire pressure regularly and before each trip.
- Replace worn tires in sets to maintain even wear.
- Ensure all tires are the same type, size, and construction.
- Don’t mix radial and bias-ply tires.
- Inspect spare tires, too.
Proper tire maintenance improves handling, reduces blowout risk, and supports safe towing.
Lights, Fluids & Wipers
Before every trip, check:
- Headlights, brake lights, and turn signals.
- Windshield wipers for wear.
- Oil, brake fluid, and transmission fluid levels.
Our team can help with all of these checks during your pre-trip inspection.
Wiring
Keep all wiring clean, dry, and corrosion-free:
- Use dielectric grease on electrical connections.
- Clean and inspect connector plugs and sockets.
Trailer Hitch & Coupling
- Inspect nuts, bolts, and fasteners.
- Lubricate the coupler for smooth movement.
- Ensure a secure connection before towing.
Pre-Trip Planning
Plan ahead to avoid delays and issues:
- Schedule a pre-trip inspection at Topline Tire & Auto Center.
- Inspect emergency equipment: first aid kit, fire extinguisher, spare fuses, flashlight, multipurpose tools, road flares, gloves.
- Check your spare tire and jack.
Driving & Ownership Tips
Driving an RV is different from driving a car. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Practice wide turns in a safe area.
- Allow extra braking distance on highways.
- Slow down in bad weather.
- Know your vehicle height to avoid low bridges.
- Secure all interior items before driving.
Understanding Your LP System
Your RV’s LP (liquefied petroleum) system may power appliances like the refrigerator, range, oven, or water heater.
- Ensure you have a working LP monitor for leak detection.
- Know your tank capacity and usage.
- Check your gauge regularly.
Winterizing Your RV
Proper winter storage protects your RV systems:
- Remove all food and drinks.
- Drain all water tanks and lines.
- Add non-toxic RV antifreeze to drains.
- Tape vents to keep pests out.
- Cover propane regulators.
- Run the engine and generator monthly if possible.
Our team offers RV winterizing services to make this easy.
