MAINTENANCE
1. Make sure to park the recreational vehicle on a level surface.
2. Make sure to winterize the Oliver as outlined in the next few pages.
3. Clean the recreational vehicle thoroughly, both inside and out, as previously outlined,
including the refrigerator.
4. Make sure all electrical switches and appliances are off.
5. Close all mini-blinds to protect the trailer interior from UV sunlight.
6. Make sure all windows, doors, and vents are closed securely. Cover exterior vents on
appliances to prevent moisture and insects from entering during storage.
7. Make sure the tires are inflated to correct pressures.
8. Check the interior of the recreational vehicle periodically while in storage to make
sure leaks have not developed or condensation formed that can damage interior
components. Condensation can most readily be observed as moisture accumulation
on windows and mirrors. To reduce condensation, make sure to occasionally air out the
recreational vehicle during storage.
9. If snow accumulates on the Travel Trailer, try to remove it as often as you can.
10. Leave the refrigerator door open.
11. Refer to the Electrical section of this manual for proper storage and maintenance of
all battery types..
TIRES
Tires play an important role in the load carrying capacity of the vehicle. To ensure good
tire life, check them often. Inspect the general condition of the tires, as well as the air
pressure.
Always check the air pressure when the tire is cold. Tires that are hot from traveling will
show high pressures. The maximum tire pressure and the load carrying capacity of the
tire are imprinted on each tire sidewall. Always inflate your tires to their correct pressure.
Don’t over or under inflate. Under inflated tires will run hot, shorten the tire’s life and
decrease the Oliver safe load limit. Over inflated tires will cause a rough and bouncing ride
that can damage RV components or cargo. It is a good idea to always carry an accurate
tire pressure gauge in the RV to make these checks. If pressure checks indicate a tire is
losing air, check for signs of valve leakage, penetration or wheel and rim damage. Under
or over inflating tires can cause tires to fail.
The way you drive can have a significant effect on the wear and life of tires. High speeds,
unusual use of the brakes, taking corners too quickly and bad roads all can contribute to
the early wear and failure of your tires. When you drive on surfaces with holes or rocks and
other loose objects that can damage tires and cause misalignment, make sure to reduce
speed and drive carefully. If you notice damage to a tire such as a bulge, uneven wear
or damage by a foreign object or the road, have it inspected and repaired or replaced as
needed at a reputable repair facility.
