Maintaining Your RV After Adventures Out On the Road
So you’ve finally done what you’ve been saying you’ll do for years now and bought your first RV. RVs are great. They give you the freedom of traveling wherever you want without having to worry about finding a hotel or sleeping on the ground when camping. But if there’s anything we know about owning RVs is that once you take out on an adventure, you’ll probably have to take it to get repaired and maintained afterward. RVs are built to handle wear and tear and to be on the road for extended periods of time, but you can’t imagine the kind of stuff it endures when on an adventure with you. These are some of the most common issues we see and recommend people have repaired after a long trip with their RV.
Issue #1: User Mishaps
As the saying goes, we’re only human, which means we’re prone to making mistakes—many, many mistakes. Many of these involving our RV. Things like forgetting to disconnect the hoses when pulling out of a campsite, forgetting to put up the steps or the awning when also leaving your campsite, and countless other things that are in our control but we can sometimes slip up about. That’s okay. It happens. But many times, when it does, it often needs a quick RV repair.
Issue #2: Leaky Roof and Windows
Picture this: you’re camping in your RV for the first time in a long time when it starts raining and then…you have leaks. Leaks can be really problematic, especially when they’re strong or happen over your electronics and appliances. A quick RV repair from the Sergio Lewis Body Shop can fix this problem real fast.
Issue #3: Bald or Blown Tires
Without your tires, you wouldn’t make it far—this is a given, which is why you want to make sure they’re taken care of. If your tires look bald, worn down, or are wearing unevenly, it may be a good idea to get them replaced. And of course, if a tire blows out while you’re driving, you’ll want to get it replaced right away by a trustworthy technician.
Issue #4: Internal Problems
The engine of your RV is a complicated machine. You can experience issues with your battery, engine, air compressor, and a slew of other components that can hinder your ability to continue on your adventure. If this happens, you’ll want to bring it in for an RV repair to the Sergio Lewis Body Shop.
