Making RV Repairs on the Road

Ideally, you won’t have any issues with your RV when you’re actually traveling in it, but we all know that life doesn’t always go to plan. There may be times when your RV starts to act up while you’re driving, requiring you to pull over somewhere and grab your tool kit to make some repairs. Here is how to fix up your RV on the road without incident.

Inspect Before You Go

One way to prevent the need for on-the-road maintenance is to thoroughly inspect your RV before you go. A thorough inspection in advance can stave off a lot of problems. Taking your RV to a local service department, like the one here at Jubilee R.V. Centre, is also a good way to ensure that your RV is travel-ready and unlikely to break down on you.

Keep Tools Handy

You should always have an RV tool kit in your vehicle or camper with the necessary tools and spare parts for making roadside repairs. Spare tires, screws and other fasteners, light bulbs, belts, silicone lubricant, duct tape, screwdrivers, wrenches, hammers, pliers, wire strippers, a jack, and an air compressor are all good tools to have.

Contact Roadside Assistance

Your insurance company may offer you a free or discounted roadside assistance option that you can use when you need to get your RV towed. It’s a good idea to have some numbers for this type of service in your phone so that you can call them if you realize you can’t fix the problem yourself. Also, you’ll want to budget for emergencies when planning your RV trip so that you can afford to have repairs made.
