Inspect Your RV

A little preparation goes a long way in preventing problems with your camper during your time on the road. Take some time to inspect your unit for any signs that something needs to be repaired. Conduct a thorough inspection from top to bottom. It is much easier to tackle a repair while you’re still at home as opposed to in the middle of the freeway. Keep in mind that minor issues can quickly become major problems, so take your camper to a professional if you find the need to repair anything.

Roadside Assistance

Another great way to handle repairs is to have a roadside assistance plan in place. You may find yourself stranded without the proper tools or skills to fix your rig. Sometimes you’re going to have to get your camper towed. If you already have a roadside assistance plan in place for your commuter vehicle, simply inform the company you use that you’ll be adding an RV to your list of vehicles.

Bring the Right Tools

Making repairs to your camper is going to require a little more than just your skills. You’ll also need the proper tools. Pack the basics, including a spare tire and a jack. A flat tire is one of the most common issues you’ll run into, so it’s important to be prepared. Also, consider bringing an emergency repair kit.
