ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR USED MOTORHOMES: TRAVEL WITH PEACE OF MIND

Owning a motorhome opens the door to freedom, adventure, and memorable experiences on the open road. If you’ve recently acquired a pre-owned motorhome or are in the process of exploring your options, good maintenance will be crucial to ensure worry-free journeys. With some simple care and maintenance routines, your second-hand motorhome can deliver dependable service for years. Thanks to KEA’s “Journey with Confidence” deals, you’ll also benefit from discounts on pre-owned vehicles and the added reassurance of an extended 3-year warranty. Here are some key practices to keep your motorhome in great condition:

1. Perform a Pre-Trip Inspection

Before rolling out, take the time for a quick visual check. Examine the tires for tread wear and proper inflation, inspect underneath for any signs of leaks, and confirm that all lights are functioning. Spending a few minutes prepping now will help prevent potential issues later.

2. Prioritise Cleaning

Taking care of your motorhome extends beyond appearance—it helps with longevity too. Regularly wash the exterior, paying particular attention to areas prone to rust from dirt and grime buildup. Inside, routinely vacuum floors and clean surfaces to care for the upholstery and avoid unnecessary wear.

3. Schedule Engine and System Maintenance

Like any vehicle, motorhome engines require periodic servicing. Stick closely to the manufacturer-recommended schedule for tasks like oil changes, filter replacements, and system checkups. Ensure critical parts like brakes, suspension, and transmission systems are also inspected regularly.

4. Examine Seals and the Roof

Water damage is a frequent concern with older motorhomes. Check the seals around the roof, windows, and doors for cracks or deterioration. Reseal whenever necessary to maintain protection from water, allowing your vehicle to stay both comfortable and weatherproof year-round.

5. Stay on Top of Appliance and Utility Maintenance

A motorhome serves not just as transportation, but as your living space. Frequently test appliances like the refrigerator, stove, heater, air conditioner, and water systems to confirm they’re operating correctly. Make it a point to clean filters and vents to enhance their performance.

6. Regularly Inspect the Battery and Electrical Systems

The battery in your motorhome powers your lifestyle, especially when you’re traveling off-grid. Check its charge frequently, and keep the terminals clean to avoid corrosion. Take time to evaluate the condition of electrical wiring to prevent potential failings on your journeys.

7. Opt for Proper Storage

When your motorhome isn’t on the road, parking it in a covered or sheltered spot provides essential protection from weather exposure. If that option isn’t possible, consider investing in a high-quality weatherproof cover to safeguard the vehicle from the elements, including harsh sunlight and debris.
