• Maintenance

Whether your trip is longer or short, it is always a bad idea to skip RV maintenance. Your car probably has been asleep for a couple of months and you can never be sure that it will work well when you are ready to have a trip on the road. Your fuel may have to be changed, or before your next great tour you may need to invest in new wheals. In addition, RV maintenance gives your technician a chance to discover problems before your appointment you may not have noticed. Although none likes unforeseen repairs, it is far better to deal with problems now than to be surprised during your holidays!

• Using Old Wipers

Many RV owners opt for their old and worn out wipers. Wherever you are heading, without quality wiper blades you don't want to get caught in a downpour. Compromised visibility jeopardizes both you and others, and we have heard countless stories about drivers pulling over until a storm has just passed just because they had shoddy wiper blades.

• Not Checking Brakes

Whenever you stop, is your RV squeaky and squealing? It is time that you take your RV for an inspection if you hear high noise from your car while you are braking, or you notice that braking is harder than once. If necessary we can inspect your brakes and repair and/or replace them, so that you can safely and tranquilly hit the road.

• Not Checking Seals

Not checking your windows, roof and doors for the seals and weather conditions. These deteriorate over time and may lead to water entering the vehicle.

Check your seals in every three months, and check for weather-stripping, so it does not fit and it is not cracked or eroded.

• Not Covering the Roof

When parked, don't cover your roof. Mother Nature may damage your RV's roof in many ways, and it may be costly to repair or substitute.

Parking your car in the garage or under a steel carport can give you maximum safety from elements, but it can also work well just by covering it with a tarp.

• Skipping the Checklist

Before you go out, do not forget the security checklist. You might miss common issues that might lead to an expensive repair.

We recommend creating a checklist inside and outside, work with a partner to make sure all is ready to go ass all these can reduce your chances of mobile RV repair in Oklahoma City, OK.
