Your Spring D.I.Y. Maintenance Guide


Spring has officially arrived, and before you hit the road or pull into your favorite campsite, it’s time to give your RV the TLC it deserves. At Tri City RV, we want to empower RV owners to handle basic maintenance with confidence—and save money doing it. That’s why we’ve created a Spring D.I.Y. Maintenance Guide packed with tips and product suggestions to keep your RV in top shape all season long.

Whether you own a Travel Trailer, Fifth Wheel, Toy Hauler, or Compact RV, our easy-to-follow steps will help you protect your investment and avoid costly repairs down the line.

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside the guide:

🧽 Wash & Inspect the Roof

Learn how to safely clean your RV roof using a soft-bristle brush and UV-safe cleaner. We show you what signs of wear to look for and how to inspect seals around vents, skylights, and moldings.

🔧 Seal & Touch Up Trouble Spots

From self-leveling lap sealants to the right caulks for side seams, you’ll discover which products to use and where to apply them for maximum leak protection.

🚿 Clean Your RV Sidewalls

Find out what cleaners are safe (and which to avoid!) so you don’t damage your finish or decals. Plus, how to spot areas that may need resealing.

🛠️ Slide-Out Maintenance

Get the scoop on which lubricants and conditioners keep your slide-outs smooth and your seals intact.

💧 Dewinterizing Tips

We walk you through flushing antifreeze, sanitizing tanks, inspecting your water heater, and prepping your propane system safely and efficiently.

🛞 Tire Inspection & Safety Checks

Check for cracks, tread wear, proper inflation, and lug nut torque before you roll out.

🌤️ Inspect Awnings, Stabilizers & Leveling Equipment

Make sure your gear operates smoothly and holds up through the season.

🔌 Test Key RV Systems

Check your batteries, appliances, and lighting systems for full functionality before your first trip.
