1. Give the Rig a Thorough Cleaning

● Start with a top-to-bottom exterior wash to remove any dirt, grime, or road salt from winter.

● Don’t forget to clean the roof and awning!

● Tidy up the interior, declutter, and deep clean all surfaces, carpets, and upholstery. Remember, a clean RV is a happy RV!

2. Inspect Tires

● Check the tire pressure and adjust if necessary.

● Look for signs of wear, cracks, or damage, and replace tires if needed.

● Don’t forget to check the spare tires – it’s always better to be safe than sorry!

3. Test All Lights and Electrical Systems

● Make sure all interior and exterior lights are working properly.

● Test RV’s battery and replace it if necessary.

● Verify that the 12-volt system, outlets, and appliances are functioning correctly.

4. Inspect the Roof and Seals

● Look for any cracks, tears, or damage to the roof and seals.

● Repair any issues that find to prevent water damage and keep the rig in tip-top shape.

5. Examine the Propane System

• Check for any leaks by using a soapy water solution on connections and hoses.

(Here are the step-by-step instructions for checking an RV propane system for leaks using a soapy water solution:

• Turn off all propane appliances and make sure the propane tank valve is closed.

• Mix a solution of soapy water by combining a few drops of dish soap with water in a spray bottle.

• Attach the spray nozzle to the bottle and pressurize it by pumping the plunger a few times.

• Starting at the propane tank, spray the soapy water solution onto the propane regulator, hoses, and connections.

• Look for any bubbles forming around the propane regulator, hoses, and connections. The formation of bubbles indicates a leak.

• If you notice bubbles forming around any of the connections or hoses, tighten them with a wrench or pliers. If tightening the connection or hose doesn’t stop the leak, replace the defective component.

• Repeat the process until all the propane connections and hoses have been checked.

• Once all the connections and hoses have been checked, turn the propane tank valve back on and test all propane appliances to ensure they are working correctly.

• It’s essential to be cautious when dealing with propane gas since it is highly flammable. Therefore, if there is no confidence in performing these checks, it’s best to have a professional inspect and maintain the RV propane system.

• Make sure the propane tanks are full and ready for the next adventure.

6. Service the Water System

● Flush out and sanitize the freshwater system.

● Check for leaks and repair if needed.

● Test the water heater and water pump to ensure they’re working properly.

7. Test the Safety Equipment

● Check the smoke, carbon monoxide, and propane detectors to ensure they’re functioning.

● Replace batteries if necessary.

● Review the fire extinguishers and replace them if they’re expired or damaged.

8. Get All Paperwork in Order

● Make sure the registration, insurance, and any necessary permits are up-to-date.

● Keep all important documents organized and easily accessible while on the road.

With these simple steps, the BLACKSERIES rig will be ready for another fantastic season of family adventures. Remember, preparation is key to a stress-free and enjoyable RV experience. So, get to work, and before knows it, hit the open road with family, making memories that’ll last a lifetime!
