Caravan is a tool carrier for us to pursue a new life. If you can do some maintenance measures before traveling, it will add a sense of safety to your caravan trip. Knowing some common sense about caravan maintenance can also save you money on daily maintenance. Less money!
Chassis
Most caravans, like family cars, need to be maintained at a professional repair shop after running a certain number of kilometers. Generally, caravans will have skylights, solar energy, air conditioners, exhaust fans, etc. These parts of the caravan also need to be checked regularly. Every quarter, check whether the sealing is leaking, especially the skylights and windows. Once found, Water leakage must be repaired as soon as possible, otherwise the loss will be greater.
Tire
Caravans are also known as “houses on wheels” and every bump in the road is like experiencing a small earthquake. Over time, the screws may become loose. Therefore, you should check the tire pressure and nut tightening before each trip, especially after long-term parking. Abnormal tire pressure and loose nuts will have a serious impact on driving safety. And add lubricant to all hinges, locks, expansion compartment connections, etc. on the caravan according to the condition of the vehicle. Use lubricants to make the mechanical parts of the caravan last longer.
Battery
We must use electricity in our caravan life. In the process of using electricity, the power source is our battery. We must pay attention to the inspection and maintenance of the battery of this battery. Overcharging, continuous power loss, or long-term poor charging will lead to the exhaustion of battery life. If used normally and correctly, the battery can generally last four to five years, but this depends on how the car owner uses it. If the car travels 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers per trip, the situation will be different. In short, you must pay attention to the maintenance of the battery.
