Use your RV, chassis, and component manuals to build one maintenance schedule. Record dates, mileage or operating hours, work performed, and receipts. Inspect regularly for visible changes, and have unfamiliar mechanical, propane, or electrical issues assessed by a qualified technician.
Start with the manuals for your exact equipment
The chassis, RV body, generator, tires, appliances, and installed accessories may each have their own schedule. Collect model and serial numbers so the right instructions are easy to find.
Keep one record instead of a pile of reminders
A paper notebook or simple spreadsheet works. Record what was inspected, what changed, who did the work, and the next service date or reading.
| Record | Example entry type |
|---|---|
| Date and reading | Calendar date, mileage, generator hours |
| Work | Inspection, scheduled service, or repair |
| Evidence | Receipt, part number, photos |
| Next due | Manual-specified date, mileage, or hours |

Make the walkaround a habit
Follow your departure checklist every time. Look for new leaks, loose items, visible tire damage, or unsecured hatches. Stop and investigate changes before they become a roadside problem.
