Inspect for Any Damage

Before taking your RV out for the first trip of the season, carefully inspect it for any damage. Look for leaks, cracks, or signs of rodent activity both inside and outside. Pay special attention to the roof, windows, and seals to prevent potential water damage that could lead to costly repairs.

Test Your Batteries & Power System

To prepare your RV for use, flush out any antifreeze from the water system. Run fresh water through the pipes and check for any leaks or damage that may have occurred over winter. Also, test your water pump to ensure it’s working correctly, so you have a reliable water supply throughout your trip.
