It's now time to get ready for the camping season.

  Here are some tips that might help.

Batteries:  Check batteries to be sure they are fully charged (12.8v) and fluid leves in the batteries are full.  Clean all terminals and any acid that may be on the battery.  Be sure polarity is hooked up correctly when installing for the season.  Note:  A battery that is no fully charged or is hooked up incorrectly can shor ut the converter causing issues with electric slides, awnings, jacks, furnaces, hot water heaters, etc. 

Tires: We recommend that you air up all tires before using.  Tire pressure is stamped on the side wall of the tire.  Al tires should be aired to this max pressure.  Be sure to check all your tires and valve stems for dry rot and cracking.  Don't just look at the surface of the tire, look between the treads too.

LUBING: It is recommended to spray a little lock key lube or WD40 in all keylocks to stop corrossion.  Be sure to lube all compartment door locks and hinges along with your tongue jack.

ALL ROOFS: Check roof for broken plastics (vents, skylights, ac shroud, etc).  Also, check all seams and caulking for cracking and/or missing caulk.  Broken plastics should be replaced and caulking repaired.  When repairing caulk you need to scrape and clean the area before applying new caulk. We do not recommend covering your unit for the winter.  Just slightly tip the unit so water runs off as fast as possible.

BLACK AND GRAY TANKS: If you didn't clean your tanks when you put your unit away for winter now is a good time to clean them.  With your tanks empty you should dump a couple of cups of cheap liquid laundry soap and a gallon of bleach in your waste tanks, fill 3/4 full of hot water, let it sit.  If you can drive the unit around it will work even better.  Dump your Tanks.  This should sanitize your tanks along with cleaning the sensors.

BOAT TRAILERS: It is recommended that all boat trailers do a grease and pack (a total axle service) before starting the season if you didn't do one before you put your trailer away for winter.Brake fluid should be flushed out on a yearly basis
