Tent Trailer Repair

Lack of maintenance of recreational vehicles is the backbone of the RV business. Dealers count on the fact that RV owners are not or can not take care of their coach. After many years in the RV business and as owner of a trailer I speak from experience. When not using the trailer made it out of sight and mind.

There is a maintenance problem that some key will keep all repair bills for serious bumps your pocket book.

1. Your RV (any style) is full of holes! Yes, exactly. Each window, each vent etc. has been cut in the RV. With these cuts the water can penetrate. So how can you put your trailer water damage, we see almost all the older suffering from a camper? Check your seams and joints and re-caulk regularly. gently scrape off the old and replace with new ones. This simple process can not only save money, because a dealer will pay a junior technology to do the job and charge you the full rate store, but it may save you the trailer of separation.
2. Winterize your RV before it starts to freeze outside. Several times I was asked, "I use my trailer yet this fall, he will be allowed outdoors if the freeze? Well simply, the freezing water at 0 ° C or 32F . A jar of antifreeze is $ 2. A water heater is $ 300 or more. This is not a difficult task.
3. Battery care and maintenance. It is too simple. Do not let your battery on the RV in the freezing cold of winter. He freezes and grow. There are a lot more maintenance battery, but this article is just simple reminders we all forget. The batteries are expensive.
4. Do not leave food in your trailer when not in use. Critters get in. the damage they can do is enormous. Dealers love charging mats, cloth or canvas as a mouse makes its home in their trailer for the winter.

I know this list is short, but they are four items that can save you thousands! Greg
