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.
Inspect the power cord and carefully clean the contacts if necessary. Plug in the 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 detectors. If needed, replace any drained or discharged
batteries. If you have a defective or damaged safety detector, 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 (if so equipped).
Inspect the leveling jacks (if so equipped) for operation. If needed, perform maintenance
as specified by the leveling jack manufacturer.
Test all exterior and interior lights. Replace any bulbs if they are burnt out.
Inspect the tires for wear, cracks and inflation pressure.
Wash the exterior of the RV. Do a sealant inspection and repair as necessary.
De-winterize and sanitize the fresh water system.
Connect your tow vehicle to the RV and test all connections and lights.
R eady To Leave Checklist
Before leaving or returning home, it is critical that you complete the necessary procedures
to ensure a safe trip. As you develop a routine, it is possible that a checklist will be helpful.
This is a general list, which you may want to customize as you determine your own needs
Make sure you follow all safety precautions noted in this owner’s manual and in any
manufacturer’s operators manual when preparing to travel.
Check the area under the RV after overnight parking and look for water or other fluid
leaks. If leaks are detected, find the cause and correct it immediately.
Make sure all tow vehicle fluids are at proper levels. Check the engine oil, transmission
fluid, engine coolant, power steering fluid and wind shield washer fluid.
Check the lights on the RV. Have someone observe the operation of all exterior lights
while you activate the controls. Check the turn signals and brake lights.
Examine the tires for excessive tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones,
nails, glass or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect for tread cuts or sidewall cracks.
Check wheel lug nuts for tightness and tires for proper air inflation pressure.
Check the propane cylinder gauge to make sure there is propane available. Make sure
the propane cylinder is in place and secure for transport.
