Spring is the perfect time to inspect and maintain your RV's plumbing system and fixtures. Here's a comprehensive guide to ensure everything is in top shape:
-
Inspect Water Lines: Check all water lines for leaks, cracks, or signs of wear. Look under sinks, around toilets, and near appliances. Repair or replace any damaged hoses or fittings to prevent water damage during your travels.
-
Test Water Pump: Turn on your RV's water pump to ensure it's working properly. Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations that could indicate issues. Check the pump's connections and fittings for tightness.
-
Clean and Sanitize Freshwater Tank: Drain and clean your RV's freshwater tank to remove sediment, bacteria, and odors. Use a specialized tank cleaner or a mixture of bleach and water for disinfection. Rinse thoroughly before refilling.
-
Check Toilet and Seals: Inspect the toilet for leaks, cracks, or loose connections. Test the flush mechanism and ensure it's functioning correctly. Replace toilet seals if they show signs of wear or damage.
-
Test Faucets and Showerheads: Turn on all faucets and the shower to check water pressure and temperature. Clean aerators and showerheads to remove mineral deposits.

Inspect Holding Tanks: Check the condition of your gray water and black water tanks. Look for cracks, leaks, or signs of corrosion. Clean and sanitize the tanks as needed to prevent odors and clogs.
