Purchasing an RV is a major investment, similar to your automobile or home. To protect your investment, and get many years of reliable service and use from your RV there are certain measures you need to take. There are three types of maintenance for your RV. Preventive maintenance, which is the purpose of this video course, scheduled maintenance and emergency maintenance.

Preventive Maintenance is maintenance you perform on your RV before a problem exists. These checks are designed to prevent or identify potential problems that could lead to mechanical breakdown, malfunction or failure of a component or system on your RV. Preventive Maintenance consists of cleaning, inspecting, lubricating, adjusting and servicing your RV.

If you catch a problem early, you can make the necessary repairs before it turns into a more expensive repair job. For example, if you don't check the tire inflation pressure prior to leaving on a trip (preventive maintenance) an under-inflated tire can heat up and fail, leaving you stranded alongside the interstate, which is now emergency maintenance.

The purpose of this video course is to give you some easy to follow preventive maintenance checks that you can perform on your RV. These checks can help towards enjoying trouble-free operation of your RV. They do not supersede any scheduled maintenance recommended by the chassis and RV manufacturer, and it is imperative that those schedules and recommended intervals for are followed. Some of the scheduled maintenance for your RV must be performed by an RV dealer, chassis manufacturer or authorized service center.

Important Note: You can be injured working on the systems of an RV and a motor vehicle. Only perform the work you feel comfortable with, and that you have the proper equipment, tools and knowledge necessary to do the job. If you have any doubt about performing a certain check or procedure have it done by an authorized RV service center.
