Here's a checklist for RV maintenance to look over before opening or closing for the season:

  1. Check the exterior for damage, cracks, or leaks.

  2. Check the tires for wear and tear, and ensure they're properly inflated.

  3. Check the brakes and brake fluid levels.

  4. Check the battery and electrical systems, including lights and appliances.

  5. Check the propane system for leaks and ensure the tanks are properly secured.

  6. Check the roof for damage, and clean and reseal it as needed.

  7. Clean the interior, including the floors, walls, and furniture.

  8. Check the plumbing system, including the water heater and tanks, and flush the system periodically.

  9. Test the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

  10. Check the air conditioning and heating systems, and clean or replace filters as needed.

  11. Lubricate hinges, locks, and moving parts to ensure smooth operation.

  12. Test the generator and oil and filter regularly.

  13. Check and clean the awning and slide-outs.

  14. Keep up with regular maintenance tasks, such as oil changes and tune-ups.

  15. Store the RV properly, in a secure and climate-controlled location, during off-seasons.

It's important to refer to your RV's owner's manual for specific maintenance requirements and schedules, and to have a professional at Lovesick Lake RV Sales Service & maintenance department inspect your RV periodically.
