RV Maintenance & Upkeep Tips
At King’s Automotive, we encourage all RV owners to stay ahead of potential issues with regular maintenance. Below are some essential tips to keep your RV in top shape year-round.
Brake Service
Your RV or trailer brakes should be inspected annually—or more often with heavy use. Reliable brakes are essential for towing safety and control.
Ramp Door Maintenance
Lubricate ramp door hinges and extensions periodically using lithium grease to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust buildup.
Huck Bolts
Inspect huck bolts regularly. If any are loose, do not tow your trailer—contact our service team for professional assistance. These bolts are not end-user serviceable.

Pre-Trip Inspection Checklist
Before setting out on your next RV adventure, schedule a pre-departure service at King’s Automotive. Our technicians will:
Fluids & Lighting
We check and top off engine oil, brake fluid, and transmission fluid, then inspect all lights and wipers to ensure visibility and performance.
Tire Safety
Your tires must all match in type, size, and construction. We’ll verify proper tire pressure, tread condition, and replacement intervals to ensure safety and efficiency on the road.
Tire Care Essentials
Proper tire maintenance is key to safe RV travel:
- Under-inflation reduces load capacity and increases risk of blowouts.
- Over-inflation causes premature wear and affects handling.
Always follow your RV’s
owner’s manual or tire placard for the correct PSI levels. Don’t forget to check your
spare tire before every trip.
Electrical & Wiring Tips
Clean and protect all
electrical connectors, light sockets, and wire splices using dielectric, waterproof grease. Corrosion can lead to lighting issues or blown fuses. Always turn lights
off before cleaning connectors.
Safety & Emergency Essentials
Before departure, check that your RV includes:
- A fully-stocked
first aid kit
- Fire extinguisher
- Tire pump, spare fuses, and road flares
- Flashlight and multipurpose tool
- Spare tire and
vehicle jack
Also, inspect your
hitch connection and lubricate as needed for smooth, safe towing.
Driving Tips for RV Owners
RVs handle differently than standard vehicles—practice in an open area before long trips.
- Make
wide turns and allow
extra braking distance.
- Slow down for
ramps, curves, and poor weather.
- Be mindful of
high winds—keep both hands firmly on the wheel.
Always
know your vehicle’s height to avoid bridge clearance issues.
Understanding Your LP (Propane) System
Your LP system powers essential appliances such as your
refrigerator, oven, and water heater. Regularly inspect for leaks, monitor fuel levels, and ensure your
LP monitor-warning system is functional. If unsure, our technicians can perform a
complete LP system inspection for peace of mind.
Winterizing Your RV or Motorhome
Before storing your RV for winter, bring it to King’s Automotive for a full winterization service, or follow these basic steps:
- Remove all food and beverages
- Drain all
water tanks, lines, and heaters
- Add
non-toxic RV antifreeze to protect plumbing
- Seal vents to prevent rodents from entering
- Run the
engine monthly to maintain readiness
- Maintain the
generator with routine starts and checks
Proper winterization helps prevent costly damage and ensures your RV is ready for spring travel.
