RV On-Road Repair Guide
Recreational vehicles are prone to malfunctions and breakdowns regardless of the brand and model. Sometimes, these problems occur when you are on the road. This can frustrate you and force you to abandon your trip midway.
Although you can’t prevent your RV from encountering issues on the road, you can prepare to tackle them and continue your journey. Here are a few tips to help you get your camper back on the road!
Inspect Your RV Regularly
Taking preventive measures can help avoid unexpected roadside emergencies. Before embarking on your journey, inspect your rig thoroughly and ensure it is in optimal condition and ready for the trip. This will help you identify and fix any hidden issues before they become safety hazards.
When examining your RV before a trip, pay attention to the tires, braking system, electrical components, and lights. You can consider seeking assistance from a trained mechanic who can inspect your vehicle before your trip.
Gather the Appropriate Tools
Next, you want to bring a comprehensive toolkit onboard your RV for emergencies. Include duct tape, spare tires, jacks, a hacksaw, side cutter pliers, vice grips, wire strippers, and other items for electrical repairs.
Refer to your owner's manual to see if the manufacturer recommends specific tools for servicing your RV and ensure you get those items before hitting the road.
Secure Roadside Assistance
Your toolkit can help you tackle so much. While you can handle basic repairs, for all complex issues, trust only the experts.
Roadside assistance programs are prompt and reliable. Therefore, keep a readily available roadside emergency number handy and call for help during an emergency. Even experienced RVers keep the contact information of a dependable roadside assistance company handy. So, plan and sign up before leaving home.
