Spring into Safety: Preparing Your RV for the Busy Summer Season

After months of sitting still through winter, your motorhome or caravan deserves a little TLC before summer travel season begins. Dust off the cobwebs, check your safety gear, and make sure your next holiday starts smoothly – not on the side of the road.

Here’s a quick guide to getting your RV back in top condition this spring.

1. Post-Winter Maintenance

Start with a general inspection:
 • Check for leaks around roof seals, windows, and doors after winter rain.
 • Test your battery, solar panels, and electrical system.
 • Inspect gas hoses for cracks and confirm appliances are working safely.
 • Flush water tanks and lines to remove any stale water or buildup.
 • Clean thoroughly inside and out to protect surfaces and prevent mould.

2. Safety Upgrades Worth Considering

If it’s been a while since you’ve updated your safety equipment, now’s the time.
 • Check your tow ball down weight and balance using a Milenco Tow Ball Weight Gauge for a stable setup.
 • Fit Milenco Aero Towing Mirrors to maintain a clear rear view and comply with NZ law.
 • Add Milenco Wheel Clamps and Hitch Locks for peace of mind whether parked at home or on the road.
 • Replace expired fire extinguishers and restock your first aid kit.
