5 Inexpensive Maintenance Tips to Keep You Safe on Your RV Trip

Your recreational vehicle may be one of your favorite investments. To keep your RV in good shape, you should also have a comprehensive RV insurance policy in place. It aids in protecting your investment from on-the-road risks such as car accidents, liability claims, and even some breakdowns. 

The best way to keep RV insurance rates affordable is to avoid claims against your policy. To do this, you'll need to maintain your recreational vehicle. Here are some tasks that can help to keep you safe on the road.

  

  1. Check the tires before every long trip. Before heading out onto the road, ensure your tires are in good condition with plenty of tread. Your tire pressure should meet the manufacturer's recommendations. Be sure all nuts are in place and tightened.

  2.  Have your brakes inspected at least once every six months. Brake damage can cause thousands of dollars in repair costs to a motorhome, reports CampingWorld.com. An inspection can also help make sure you do not put other drivers at risk on the road with you.

  3.  Have your RV generator inspected and maintained. This is one of the most overlooked components of your vehicle. However, you can avoid the $9,000 or more cost to repair or replace it by keeping the air filters clean and meeting other maintenance needs for the system.

  4.  Keep your recreational vehicle's roof in good condition.The roof should be treated each year if it is made of rubber since the sun can damage it. An inspection can help minimize risks associated with leaks and damage. This should be done every six months even if the RV is in storage.

  5.  Check your RV’s waste system. Check out your RV's waste system before heading out on the road. Be sure there are no leaks or other areas of concern.

 

These tips help keep your recreational vehicle safe from damage while you're using it. You may also need RV insurance that covers risks you cannot avoid, such as fires, theft, and vandalism. 

The right combination of maintenance and insurance can keep you and your RV on the road for years to come. 

 

Protect your family on the road. Call General Insurance Services of Asheville, Inc at 828.252.6848 for more information on RV insurance.
