As the warmer months approach, it’s time to dust off your boat or RV and get ready for another exciting summer of road trips and water adventures. Proper storage and maintenance ensure your recreational vehicle is in top shape, so you can hit the road or the water without a hitch. Here are some essential tips to help you prep for the summer season.

1. Perform a Thorough Inspection

• Check for Damage: Look for any cracks, leaks, or wear and tear that may have occurred during storage.
• Inspect Tires: Ensure proper tire pressure and check for signs of dry rot or cracks.
• Test Batteries: Charge and inspect your RV or boat batteries to ensure they hold a charge.
• Look for Pests: Check for signs of rodents or insects that may have made a home during storage.

2. Clean & Maintain Your Boat or RV

• Exterior Wash: Give your boat or RV a good wash to remove dust, dirt, or mildew.
• Interior Refresh: Vacuum carpets, wipe down surfaces, and check for any musty odors.
• Fluid Check: Top off or replace essential fluids, such as oil, coolant, and brake fluid.
• Propeller & Engine Check (Boats): Inspect the propeller for dings or cracks and ensure the engine is running smoothly.

3. Plan Your Packing & Gear

• Stock Up on Supplies: Replenish first-aid kits, safety gear, and cooking essentials.
