This is my third article in full time RV living. In this article you tasks that you tend to once every 6 months or to cover to do so. Some of these are seasonal items.
Most of this season or half-yearly tasks concerned with the fact that your mobile home is considered a vehicle. As such, maintenance and inspection of work items that must be maintained. First, the semi-annual washing and waxing, RV. For this I suggest you go to buy low-cost high-pressureWasher. I have a Black & Decker model from our local Wally World (Walmart) for about $ 60 a couple of summers ago, and we still use. Remember, we are full time and do not have much storage space. So, one of those big powerful wheels work is not a good idea. This is also a task that you can easily find someone else to do. This year we have actually come to wash a local company and our rig. There are $ 60 and saved us 6 hours. They did not do as good a job as we do, butthen again did not not spend six hours cleaning and waxing of the platform. I think it was done in an hour. I'm pretty sure that come spring, it's always another call to our RV clean. I think I have better things to do than spend a good part of the day for my wife and I have to do the washing and waxing the trailer.
If you're still with them, they get on the roof! He is surprised at how much dirt and crud comes off the roof. The first time you wash your pages, you will just endRinse again later.
As with any motor vehicle, you need to do some 'maintenance from time to time. Did you know that tires lose pressure over a pound per month? This means that in the course of a year, a tire on the RV 12 pounds in loss of air pressure. It 's a good idea to keep your tire pressure. They are longer and the stability of the campers will be better. Another task that needs to be done is to be regularly lubricated. This includes the axles andCamps. If you have a generator, you must also change the oil in it just like a machine. Every three months, at least if you use it. This is one of the reasons why we do not get a generator. Our 12-volt batteries have enough power for the few times that the lights were out.
If you sit in one place for too long, bushings, wheels, and kingpins is sinking into the ground. About once a year or so, it does not hurt the RV level. For us, the connection ofTruck, took the load from the trailer and maybe a few inches longer in the plan. It does not take much. In addition to leveling the camper who brings the tires a bit '.
We had to replace our water heater this year. We seem to have lost a few steps, washing and draining the water heater maintenance and replacement of the cathode tube included. I think I can not complain too much, has gone six years than they originally arrived at the RV. Our RV mechanics provided someTips for the care that I can add my annual inspection tasks. Cleaning the hot water heater, hot air heating and refrigerator are tasks annual hours. Among other things, cleaning the refrigerator is not the inside. RV refrigerators have an outside heat exchanger to be cleaned of dirt and errors must.
Another annual problem for me is to put the exit slide. Ours are made throughout the year, so my annual check is to pull all the way to extend control lubrication, andthem again. Some use hydraulic slide out, and some are electric. Each have different maintenance requirements. Check the user manual for details, if there is nothing to RV dealers listed.
Finally there is the main study. Some states require it and others do not. We are currently in Pennsylvania and do not require inspections. This is a one to be the condition of 'years when I did all my maintenance, and other controls that might have madenecessary or desired.
Now you have it. Living in a camper. My wife and I love him. In fact, we are now buying a new camper and expect to pick it up soon. I hope you found this article interesting and have gained some knowledge of living full time in an RV.
