Spring Cleaning Guide for Your RV - Inspect Safety Equipment

As part of your spring cleaning routine for your RV, it's crucial to inspect and test all safety equipment to ensure everything is in working order. Here's a detailed guide to help you check these essential components:


  • Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors by pressing the test button. Replace batteries if necessary or install fresh ones if the detectors are not functioning correctly.

  • Fire Extinguishers: Inspect fire extinguishers to ensure they are fully charged and not expired. Verify that the pressure gauge shows the proper charge level, and the extinguisher shows no signs of damage or corrosion.

  • Emergency Exits and Windows: Check emergency exits and windows to ensure they open easily and are free from obstructions. Lubricate hinges and mechanisms as needed. Replace any damaged or missing screens.

  • LP Gas System: Inspect the LP gas system for leaks by using a soapy water solution to check connections and valves. Look for bubbles indicating leaks and address any issues promptly.

  • Emergency Escape Plan: Review and update your emergency escape plan with all occupants. Ensure everyone knows the location of emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and how to use safety equipment.

  • First Aid Kit: Examine your RV's first aid kit and replenish any supplies that are low or expired. Include essential items such as bandages, antiseptic wipes, medications, and emergency contact information.

  • Backup Camera and Sensors: Test backup cameras and sensors to ensure they provide clear visibility when reversing. Clean camera lenses and sensors for optimal performance.
