The Exterior

Check the Electrical
- Look at the battery for proper fluid levels. Be sure to wear gloves and safety glasses to keep you safe when checking the battery.
- Be sure that all electrical cords and cables are free from corrosion and fraying.
- The shore power cord and plug need to be checked to be sure that rodents didn’t get to it.
- Get a good plug tester to be sure that the ground fault interrupter is still functional.
- Test your slide outs and other power operated components.
The Undercarriage
- Look to be sure there are no cracks or separation on the tires. Be sure to also look at the threads to be sure they are still good with no signs of damage.

Professional Checks
