Whether you’re a newbie to RV living or a seasoned RVer, you’ll want to stay on top of maintenance so you can enjoy your RV investment for many years to come. Exterior maintenance is a great place to start.
Here are some handy maintenance tips to keep your RV exterior in top shape:
Wash Your RV Exterior After Each Trip
A sponge wash with mild soap and water rinse does the trick. But make sure you wash your RV exterior regularly, ideally, after you return from each trip. Be careful to prevent condensation and avoid spraying water directly into appliance vents. You can also book the professional services from www.tjsrv.com/travel-trailer-maintenance-nc for your RV wash.
Apply A Protectant To Your RV Exterior
You should apply a coat of good quality wax or protectant to your RV exterior. This can be a time-consuming task depending on the size of your RV but it’s well worth the effort. Make sure the exterior is dry before you start waxing and spot-test on a small area of graphics before widespread application. Check to ensure that the wax is appropriate for use on the type of exterior on your RV.
Clean Your Awning And keep It Dry For Storage
Before you roll up your RV awning for storage, clean it well with mild soap and water, and lubricate moving parts with silicon spray. When you roll it up, ensure that the awning is in the ‘lock’ position.
The best thing you can do to prevent this is store your RV under a steel RV carport or traditional RV cover. If you’re a full-timer, you will want to climb up and clean the roof regularly.
