Maintenance All RVs require comprehensive service. As a starting point, follow your manufacturer’s suggested maintenance schedule and a professional mechanic’s advice. Before renting your vehicle, all lighting and accessories must work properly. RVs and trailers with auxiliary appliances, like refrigerators and generators, should be inspected to ensure those appliances are working properly as well. Awnings, slide-outs, and other accessories must all be in working order too. Proper inspections, maintenance, and repairs make the rental process easier and more enjoyable for all Outdoorsy owners and renters. As an owner, you’ll get better reviews, reduce the chances of mechanical failures, and greatly increase the chances of a fun—and safe—customer experience.
