Travel Trailer Maintenance Guide

Owning a travel trailer is a great way to bond with your loved ones while enjoying some of the best attractions in your area. If you’ve invested in your own trailer, it’s equally important to invest in its proper upkeep to get the most value out of your purchase.

Roof Inspections

It’s a good practice to check the seals of your roof every few months to make sure everything is in order. If left unchecked the seams can develop leaks that could lead to expensive water damage and corrosion. If your travel trailer has rubber roofing, you’ll also want to make sure you’re treating them at least once a year to reduce any risks.

Tire Inspections

Owning a tire pressure gauge is a great tool to ensure your tires are in shape and running properly. Too much or too little air pressure can lead to blow outs and other dangerous forms of damage that could put your loved ones' safety in jeopardy. Also, practice giving your tires a good lookover frequently to identify tread wear and other issues.

Change Your Oil and Filters

Travel trailers are powerful and have a lot of intricate parts that need to remain free of dirt and debris. Having clean oil and air filters are imperative if you want your engine to remain functional for a long time. Check your owner’s manual to find out how to replace these by yourself, or if you’re willing to spend a little extra, take your travel trailer for servicing at the recommended intervals.
