  Engine and Drivetrain Maintenance for RVs  
   

Guarantee RV provides tips on engine and drivetrain maintenance to help ensure that your motorhome parts are in proper working order on your recreational vehicle.  If you own a new or used motorhome or recreational vehicle, you understand how important it is to maintain the engine and drivetrain components of your unit.  Here are some simple tips that can aid in maintenance for your recreational vehicle.

  • Keep the fluid levels topped up.  This includes engine oil, coolants and antifreeze, washer fluid, brake fluid, and transmission oil.  It is a good idea to check fluid levels prior to any excursions or trips that you may be going on
  • Perform regular oil changes on your recreational vehicle (refer to your manual) Otherwise it is a good bet to have the oil changed every 5000-6000 kms (3100 - 3700 miles)
  • Depending on the age of your RV you may want to consider a regular tune up at least once a season
  • Keep necessary parts greased and lubricated to prevent rust, deterioration or malfunction
  • If your RV is parked over winter or for an extended period, start the engine to allow the fluids to flow
  • Disconnect the battery when your RV will not be in use for a long period of time.  For more on battery maintenance click here
  • Change and flush your brake fluid periodically
