Don't Let a Breakdown Ruin the Adventure: The Critical Importance of RV Maintenance
There is nothing quite like the freedom of the open road. Whether you are heading to the Gulf Coast for sunshine or the Appalachians for the autumn leaves, your RV is your ticket to adventure. However, that dream vacation can quickly turn into a nightmare if your rig isn't road-ready.
At Teshua Farms RVs, we believe that the best repairs are the ones you prevent. While we rent, sell, and service RVs of all types, our passion is ensuring your family stays safe and your investment is protected.
Here is why keeping up with routine maintenance is the smartest financial decision an RV owner can make—and how we can help.
Why "Fix It Later" costs More
Many RV owners fall into the trap of "out of sight, out of mind." It is easy to ignore a small squeak or a hairline crack in a seal until it becomes a catastrophic failure.
Preventative maintenance is significantly cheaper than emergency repairs. A resealed roof costs a fraction of what it takes to repair water damage, mold remediation, and structural rot. Repacking wheel bearings is a minor expense compared to the danger and cost of a seized hub or a lost wheel on the highway.
Top 3 Maintenance Non-Negotiables
1. The Roof: Your First Line of Defense
Water is the number one enemy of any RV. Over time, the sealant on your roof (lap sealant) dries out, cracks, and pulls away.
The Fix: We recommend an annual roof inspection and treatment. We clean, condition, and reseal your roof to ensure it remains watertight.
The Result: You prevent leaks that can rot your walls and floorboards, saving you thousands in restoration costs.
2. Wheel Bearings: Towing Safety
If you tow a travel trailer or fifth wheel, your wheel bearings endure immense heat and friction. If the grease dries out, the metal bearings can grind together and fail.
The Fix: Bearings should be repacked every 12 months or every 12,000 miles.
The Result: You maintain towing safety and prevent being stranded on the side of the interstate with a smoking wheel hub.
3. Winterization: Beat the Freeze
Even in the South, temperatures drop below freezing. If water is left in your plumbing lines, it expands when it freezes, causing pipes, faucets, and water heaters to burst.
The Fix: Professional winterization flushes the water and replaces it with RV-safe antifreeze.
The Result: You avoid coming back to your RV in the spring to find a flooded mess.
