It's a nice Fall day here today so I performed my monthly chores for our RT. Most of these things I leaned on RV.net CVC. This s a great forum and topic.
1. Checked the tire pressure on all tires
2. Checked the fluids under the hood
3. Checked the house battery and lubricated the battery drawer tray - moved it back and forth a few times
4. Checked the Genny oil and gave it a good run under load
5. Lubricated the door hinges and parts on all doors (I do this twice a year)
6. Fired up the furnace, reefer to keep the propane system in shape. (RT is winterized - can't run the hot water heater)
7. Checked all interior, storage and porch lights (while running the Genny)
8. Gave the interior a quick cleaning such as the dashboard, window sills etc
9. Cleaned certain spots on the exterior with 'ProtectAll' (usually around the windows)
10. Opened all cabinets & reefer door to let them air out - I like to esp. leave the reeefer open while not in use.
I try to do these things in the middle of each month weather permitting. We will be snowbirds this winter so I will be able to keep up the chores while down there. My DW can't understand why I spend so much time on the thing... :B
As a rule, I like to visit the RT and look under the hood (just outside our home side door) just about every other day to check on anything that might be amiss such as rodents coming for a visit, etc. So far, so good. No incidents in 7 years of ownership. It also, allows me to 'dream' about our next trip and to relax a little. :W
