Sometimes even after checking all the maintenance boxes, tire issues can still arise. Road damage, wear and tear, and non-use are all factors that dictate your tire’s life. Monitoring with maintenance services can prevent issues during a vacation. If you find yourself with a flat tire, maintain control of the vehicle. Do not immediately brake, but instead accelerate to maintain control. Once your RV stops pulling to the side with the flat, begin slowly braking and safely pulling off. It’s a best practice to carry a full size spare to replace your damaged tire. Also keeping your tires properly inflated is important because the tires take the load of the RV making it possible for you to enjoy those fun road trips and under inflated tires is a major cause of tire failures..

Unfortunately, RV roofs are not as structurally sound as the roof on your home. This is largely due to the fact your RV’s roof is travelling down the bumpy road so often. Weather damage and low-hanging branches are also a contributor to roof damage. Having the roof and windows checked and maintained can prevent leaks, mold and many expenses. Consider also getting a rubber roof coating to protect it. Roof damage oftentimes leads to leaks, and no one wants that! Window leaks are easier to inspect for since it doesn’t involve climbing on the roof. Oftentimes when windows leak, it’s due to the seals around them malfunctioning. They may be broken, worn, or just in need of replacement. It’s a best practice to check these twice a month to ensure you aren’t getting rained on in your bed!
