Own a motorhome, pull behind trailer, 5th wheel or toy hauler? Do these things DURING or AFTER every WINTER to get your RV ROAD READY.

For you new comers my name is Martin and all the winter maintenance stuff I do every winter is done on our motorhome. Most—not all but most—of the things I’ll be covering today will also apply to all types of RV’s, like pull behind trailers, 5th wheels, toy haulers and so on even if you put your RV in winter storage. We are FTers and go to RGV for the winter where it’s warm, so we don’t winterize. For all of you who go to Arizona or Snowbirds to Florida for the winter, this is a great time to do these winter PM and items.

Here's how I keep track of the maintenance I do. Maintenance logs are important to keep & will also help sell your RV when that time comes.

DISCLAIMER:
We are in no way experts or professional mechanics. But being a journeyman millwright for years & being EX Military, has proven to be very helpful in my lifetime learning how to care for & maintain all sorts of machinery & equipment like: helicopters, airplanes, tanks, motorcycles & many types of other vehicles. That, along with 18 months preparing & upgrading our RV before we went full time, & now traveling for several years has gained us a lot of knowledge. Regardless of what we recommend, consult a professional if you're unsure about working on your RV. Work you perform or products you purchase based on any information we provide is at your own risk.
