Tire/Lug nuts
It’s important to check your tires and lug nuts every time you get ready to hit the road.
Tire pressure fluctuates with changes in elevation and temperature, and lug nuts have the potential to loosen from use over time.
Proper tire pressure helps to prevent flats and blowouts.
Check your RV manual or on the tires for the recommended tire pressure.

Checking the lug nuts is also crucial. Loose lug nuts can fall off of tires, running the risk of an entire wheel falling off while driving.
Before each trip, check each lug nut to make sure it hasn’t loosened in storage or on your last drive.
Be sure to also readjust your lug nuts to the proper torque at least once a year. The right torque for your RV will also be found in the owner’s manual.

Awnings
Repairs or replacing them can be costly. Maintaining your RV’s awning helps to prevent rips and tears as well as mold and mildew. And remember, the arms are attached to the side of your RV. They can easily be pulled out by wind or rain when it pools on the fabric.

Awnings are a great source of shade for your outdoor space. It is not for protection from rain or wind. Roll it in if winds are rain are expected to be excessive.

Be sure to let your awning dry out completely prior to rolling it in after it rains or a dewy morning. ​When this is not possible, remember to pull it out to let it dry as soon as you make it to your next spot.

Roofs
Roofs are often the most forgotten item for maintenance until a problem occurs. The seals around each vent, A/C, skylight, antenna, etc need to be inspected and likely resealed once a year. Seals tend to dry out and crack allowing for water to enter your RV. Rubber roofs need to be checked for rips, tears, etc. Typically roofs are good for 3-5 years. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your roof. Remember, the roof is constantly exposed to the everyday elements and are not a resilient as a roof on a house.
