The service experts at Lazydays RV are committed to providing RVers with a service experience that is second-to-none in the RV industry. There’s not a lot that keeps an RVer off the road, but we know that a lapse in preventative maintenance can be one of those things. To ensure you get to enjoy the most out of the RV lifestyle, our certified technicians have the expertise to help keep your motorhome in top shape.
Staying on top of your motorhome’s regular maintenance, along with quickly addressing any service issues, is vital to extend its longevity and value. Across the spectrum of motorhome types, keeping up with regular maintenance can be a challenge. Besides keeping a handy service checklist (you know we love lists), knocking out all of your regular, annual services is the best way to keep your RV running smoothly year-round. To help RVers, Lazydays RV offers multiple, tiered motorhome service packages at all our dealerships and service centers. Here, we’ll discuss a few of the motorhome-specific services owners need to consider and discuss how motorhome service packages from Lazydays RV can help keep your costs down and your RV running!
Motorhome services to stay on top of
There are three different classes of motorhomes to choose from, each offering comforts and amenities just right for certain RV experiences. These experiences range from mobile apartment-style luxury of Class A motorhomes to the truly livable van-style Class B motorhomes. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or a diehard tailgater, there’s sure to be a motorhome for you.
The best practices for maintaining a motorhome is to consider the features, such as rooftop AC units, awnings, similar plumbing/freshwater systems, appliances, and more. Keeping in mind that RVers can choose between diesel or gas engines for all three classes. Class C and Class B diesel motorhomes are less common than their Class A counterparts, but most top manufactures make diesel options in these classes.
Between these two engine types, RVers constantly debate which one best suits their travel lifestyle. Diesel engines provide more torque at lower speeds and better overall performance but also require more specialized maintenance. On the flip side, gas engines perform exceptionally well at higher speeds, and gas is much less expensive and easier to find but does perform as well on graded roads. One thing that is certain with both engine types is that regular maintenance is a MUST. Air, oil, and other filters should be replaced often, and a general engine inspection should be performed at least once per year.
Beyond the engine, the suspension and transmission are two motorhome-specific systems that require regular maintenance. Your suspension should be inspected at least once per year to ensure it’s at the proper level in standard configuration, it can be adjusted properly, and there isn’t any damage present. A standard transmission service should include inspection of the routing for any leaks or damage, along with possible replacement of the transmission fluid (recommended frequency ranges from once every 1 to 2 years).
The brake system and tires are two other systems with recommended maintenance. As with any vehicle, keeping your motorhome’s brakes in top condition should be a priority. Beyond the annoying sound of squeaky or worn-down brakes, safety becomes the main concern when brakes are not properly serviced. Tires also require regular inspection that includes checking the overall condition, including tread, pressure and lug nuts.
