When Spring is just around the corner or you
are ready for a trip your motorhome will
require some preparation for a fresh start to
your camping season. The following checklist
will help ensure a trouble-free camping
season:
Inspect and work all interior and exterior
latches and locks (lube if necessary).
Make sure the batteries are fully charged
and installed correctly.
Turn ON the motorhome 12-volt battery
disconnect switch.
Inspect the power cord and carefully clean
the contacts if necessary. Plug in the 50-
amp power cord to an appropriate power
source.
Turn on the interior lights and check
outlets for polarity. If needed, replace any
blown fuses. Check the circuit breakers
and test the GFCI.
Inspect and test all safety alarms (replace
batteries as needed). If you have a
defective or damaged safety alarm,
replace it immediately.
Inspect and turn on the propane system. If
you have any questions, contact your
dealer or a qualified propane service
representative for assistance.
If the propane system is functioning
properly, test the pilot lights on range,
refrigerator, furnace and water heater.
Inspect the leveling jacks for operation. If
needed, perform maintenance as per the
OEM information.
Test all exterior and interior lights.
Replace any bulbs if they are burnt out.
Prepare the chassis portion of the
motorhome for the camping season in
accordance with the Chassis Guide.
Inspect the tires for wear, cracks and
inflation pressure.
Wash the exterior of the motorhome. Do a
sealant inspection and repair as
necessary.
De-winterize and sanitize the fresh water
system.
Connect a towed vehicle to motorhome (if
so equipped) and test all connections and
lights.
