To help you prepare your RV for your upcoming adventures.

Here’s a simple yet efficient checklist

  Open all doors and compartments and check for rodent intrusion and water damage
• 
  Replace any dry cell batteries you may have removed for winter storage
• 
  Test the operation of the carbon monoxide detector, the LP gas leak detetor and the smoke detector
• 
  Check the fire extinguisher and make sure it is fully charged
• 
  Open the awning to let it dry
• 
  Raise the radio / TV Antenna
• 
  Inspect all seams, windows and vents for water damage and reseal if necessary
• 
  Lubricate all hinges and locks with spray lubricant
• 
  Test the operation of the hydaulic jacks if applicable. Also check de hydraulic fluid level.
• 
  Place mothballs near (not in) the gas burner assembly of the refrigerator (to prevenr spiders from nesting and causing gas flow blockages at the burner)
• 
  Place sheets of bounce or fleecy (or similar product) under each mattress and cushion. This will keep field mice away as they don’t like the smell
• 
  Inspect the tires for signs of dry rot. Inflate all tires to the recommended tire pressure
