Unlike the used car trade, purchasing a
previously owned RV can often be a good
deal because of the low mileage and minimal
use. However, if you do become the second
(or third) owner of a resold RV, there are a
few things you should remember to do.
First and foremost, register your purchase
with Entegra Customer Service.
Copy and
complete the following “Contact Information
Update Form.” Mail or fax it to Entegra
Customer Service. Technical bulletins and
notices regarding the RV are sent directly to
the last known owner on file.
Replace the tires. It is virtually impossible to
determine how well the previous owner cared
for this very important item. Inaccurate air
pressures, improper storage and rough
roadways can all contribute to tire wear that is
not easily detected through visual inspection.
Put new tires of identical size and brand as
the original factory installed tires on all axles
at the same time.
Inspect the batteries. Like tires, battery life is
also dependent on the maintenance
schedule. Remove corrosion from around the
battery cases and cables. Fill liquid lead acid
battery cells with distilled water. Fully charge
the battery bank and then using a battery
hydrometer, test each cell of liquid lead acid
batteries. Low electrolyte readings in any cell
will drag down the rest of the battery bank.
Replace the battery bank all at one time.
Lubricate and inspect the suspension
system.
Refer to the vendor manuals for
lubrication points and guidelines. Keep record
of the lubrication schedule in a maintenance
logbook.
Give the electrical system a thorough
going over.
Examine the shore cord
connection. Have your dealer replace any
frayed wiring or loose connections. If the RV
is equipped with a transfer switch, remove the
cover and tighten screws that may have
loosened from road vibration. Check for
discoloration and loose connections. Double-
check the ground bar as well. Just one loose
connection can cause electrical and safety
problems.
Clean the filters in the roof air conditioning
system.
Remove the A/C vent to access
filters. Wash the filters in mild soap and
thoroughly rinse. Allow the filters to dry before
reinstalling them back into the ceiling vent.
While the filters are out, look over the
connections to see if anything appears out of
place.
Check wiring to the furnace, water heater
and refrigerator.
Clean the outside
compartments to remove dust and debris.
Run the systems before heading off down the
road to assure they are in working order.
Disinfect (sanitize) the fresh water holding
tank.
Inspect the sewer hose and tighten
clamps. Replace the hose if it appears worn
or damaged.
Contact your dealer for a service appointment
if you are not comfortable or qualified to
perform these suggested repairs. If you have
any questions, contact your selling dealer for
assistance.
