How to perform RV preventative maintenance

Learn how to perform RV preventative maintenance with this instructional RV video. Check the fluids for your engine, belts, and hoses etc. So when you go out on trips you are not going to have an RV accidental break down because you forgot to check one simple thing. So the first thing you should check is the windshield washer fluid, which is located where the engine is depending on what type of unit you have. You just have to pop the top lid off to refill and then re-seal it. Next thing you should check is the brake fluid. You just open the cap on top of the brake fluid tank; make sure there is fluid on the top of the cap which means that the reservoir is full. There could be a total of two reservoirs', one in the back of the tank and one in the front. Basically just check them both if there are two, that there is liquid on both of the caps. Next is the power steering fluid. Should be located on the bottom of the engine compartment. When you remove the lid, it should be connected to a dip stick. Take it out and wipe it off, put the dip stick back in and remove again. The dip stick should have levels on it that can read add, low, full exc. That is how you will know how much liquid is in there. If it is at the add line, you should start up the engine, let it warm up and then check it again to see if the fluid rises. You should then full up the tank to the full mark on the dip stick, go ahead and replace the cap and make sure it is secure. Next thing you should check is the air filter. To check it you open up the clamp and lift up, which will give you the ability to see inside the air filter. Take out the air filter and do a visual inspection to see if it is clean or dirty. Make sure to read the label on the air filter compartment. Check out this RV tutorial video to learn the rest of the steps and how to perform proper maintenance on your recreational vehicle.
