Spring is in the air and you probably can’t wait to get your RV out of storage and back on the road. But before the fun of road trips and campfires begin, it’s time to make sure your RV is in safe, working order, with no unpleasant surprises waiting to ruin your first trip of the season.

After following our instructions for de-winterizing your RV, we recommend you then give your entire RV a good, top to bottom, front to back, cleaning. Ridding your RV of dust and dirt will give you the best opportunity to do a thorough visual inspection, so open any slides, grab a ladder, and check the key areas we’ve outlined below.

We’ll be covering all these points, and sharing helpful how-to advice as well as recommended product information in our upcoming “Preparing your RV for Spring” live WebCast! It will be a great, informative, and free session to arm you with the information you need to get ready for the upcoming season. Find out all the details here.

If this list seems daunting, leave it to the pros and check out your local RV Care dealer for their great spring maintenance packages.
