How to Prepare for Your Appointment and Extend RV Life
- Gather documents: Bring build sheets, prior service records, and any warranty paperwork to accelerate diagnostics and approvals.
- Describe symptoms clearly: Note when issues occur, dashboard messages, noises, and environmental conditions that help us replicate the problem.
- Share photos or short videos: Visuals of leaks, error codes, or intermittent behavior often pinpoint causes faster than words alone.
- List upgrades and accessories: Let us know about recent add-ons—solar, lithium, suspension—to check integration and settings.
- Prepare the coach: Empty holding tanks if possible, clear access to service areas, and secure loose items to speed disassembly and reassembly.
- Plan your timeline: Complex projects may require parts lead time—scheduling ahead helps us stage components and reduce downtime.
- Ask about options: We can propose good-better-best paths for repairs and upgrades so you can choose based on goals and timing.

Beyond appointment prep, a few habits extend RV life and reduce surprises. Periodically inspect roof seams, window seals, and slide gaskets; small reseals prevent costly repairs. Keep batteries charged and clean, track generator hours, and replace air and water filters on schedule. Sanitize the freshwater system seasonally, and consider annual LP leak tests for safety. Tire care matters—monitor pressures, look for uneven wear, and replace aging tires even if tread looks fine. Before long trips, complete a systems check: fluids, lights, safety detectors, awnings, and leveling gear. If you store the RV, stabilize fuel as applicable, manage moisture, and cycle systems monthly. We are happy to tailor a maintenance rhythm to your travel style—weekend camping, cross-country tours, or extended off-grid stays—so your coach stays road-ready.
