How to carry out small repairs and maintenance on the go:

A motorhome gives us the freedom to discover the world in our own way. But with this freedom comes the responsibility of keeping our rolling home in top condition. Luckily, most RV repairs and maintenance require just a little know-how and a few basic tools. In this article, we share some helpful tech tips that may come in handy when you're on the go.

1. Put together a toolbox

Before you go traveling, make sure you have a well-stocked toolbox. This should include the following:

• screwdriver
• Pliers
• Roll tape measure
• electrical tape
• cable ties
• Replacement fuses and lamps
• A multi-tool
• A tire repair kit

2. Check and replace seals

Seals on windows, doors and roof hatches can become brittle over time. Check regularly for cracks and replace if necessary to prevent moisture damage.

3. Check tire pressure regularly

Incorrect tire pressure can increase fuel consumption and accelerate tire wear. Get a digital tire pressure gauge and check the pressure regularly.

4. Monitor battery condition

The battery is the heart of your motorhome. Use a battery monitoring device to ensure that it is always optimally charged.

5. Check water and sewer system

Empty and clean the waste water tank regularly and check whether all connections are tight. Also make sure to refill with fresh water if you run low.

Conclusion:

With a little preparation and regular maintenance, you can solve most minor motorhome problems yourself. By following these tips, you can avoid unexpected repair costs and ensure your road adventure is as enjoyable as possible.
