Winter RV Care
Brakes
Have the brakes checked and tested. The braking system is a vital safety mechanism.
Oil check
Oil sometimes thickens as it gets colder, and it can’t lubricate an engine properly if it is too cool. Read the owner’s manual to determine what lubricants are recommended for your system. Also check transmission, brake and other fluids while you’re under the hood.
Radiator
Clean and flush, and put new antifreeze in the cooling system. As a general rule of thumb this should be done every two years, and it’s vital to stop your engine water freezing overnight, especially if you’re in very cold or snowy conditions.
Wiper blades
The wiper blades should completely clear the glass with each swipe. Replace any blade that is damaged, leaves streaks or misses spots. Use a good additive to the window
