RV Maintenance

RVs are unique vehicles. A motorhome is a combination house and motor vehicle, and both motorhomes and travel trailers have exclusive systems that are unlike those on other vehicles. This distinctiveness requires a particular mix of maintenance products to ensure your camper always looks its best, provides the utmost comfort, and delivers many years of dependable service. Many products will be familiar to anyone who has washed and waxed a car or caulked windows in their home, but some are very special such as the items needed to repair the rubber roof that is found on many RVs. Whatever the maintenance task, we can supply you with what you need to do the job.

Cleaning the interior and exterior of an RV is a big job, so you’ll want to use products and equipment that are effective and won’t waste your time. We have a large selection of products that are specially designed to clean and preserve the finish of your RV. Black streaks that mar the sides of your RV can be difficult to remove, but we offer cleaners that will remove black streaks and other stains without harming or fading decals. Awnings require special care to remove tough stains without discoloring the fabric and we have the cleaner that is safe and easy to use. Here you’ll also find RV wash that’s effective at removing bugs and road grime, rubber roof cleaner, mildew stain remover, vinyl and fabric cleaner, aluminum polish, wax, and detailer, as well as brushes and squeegees with telescoping poles to help you reach those hard to get to areas. Pressure washing is another alternative for cleaning the exterior of such a large vehicle, and we have a wide range of electric and gas-powered pressure washers in various pressure ratings.

With age and use, an RV can develop leaks, but there’s no reason to deal with drips or drafts when you can reseal your camper with our great selection of RV weatherstripping. Whether it’s around doors, windows, compartments, vents, or slide outs, we have what you need to restore a tight seal including bulb seal, base seal, trim seal, foam seal, weatherstripping tape, and much more in a range of cross section profiles and dimensions. And from basic electrical and duct tape for temporary repairs, to more specialized products like camper mounting tape and vinyl insert trim in your choice of colors, to lubricating fluid specially formulated to keep slide outs operating smoothly, we have the products to keep your RV fully functional and looking good.

Just like the roof on your home, your RV’s roof is continually assaulted by heat and the elements, but since it’s a moving vehicle it also has to deal with abrasions caused by roadway encounters with obstacles like low hanging tree limbs. These factors can lead to extensive roof damage and leaks if not repaired in time. Regardless of the type of construction, fiberglass, aluminum, or EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber, we have what you need for a successful roof repair. Our aluminum repair products have a reinforced aluminum surface with a rubberized asphalt adhesive. And we can supply everything needed for rubber roof repair including patch sealing tape, EPDM repair membranes, adhesive, sealant, and caulk, primer and top coat, and complete rubber roof renew kits.

Odors and excess moisture can cause poor indoor air quality, making long drives in your RV unpleasant. We offer products that can eliminate odors and dehumidify the air. Holding tanks can be a significant cause of odors, but our drop-in deodorizers dissolve quickly, provide a fresh fragrance, and break down waste and paper. Gray water tanks are even easier to keep odor-free; just drop one of our deodorizing tablets in the sink or shower drain and turn on the water. Our dehumidifying products attract and absorb excess moisture from the air and are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. We have dehumidifiers, dehumidifier refills, and reusable dehumidifier bags that can be regenerated in the microwave.

If you want to keep your RV in top shape you need to keep it under a quality cover when it’s not being used to ensure it looks great when you’re ready to hit the road. Covering your camper will protect it from damaging UV rays that can cause oxidation and fading, and shield it from bird droppings, tree sap, and tree fruit that can cause permanent paint damage if left on long enough. The best covers shed water and are breathable, to prevent moisture buildup that can lead to corrosion. We offer covers made from top-of-the-line fabrics in a wide range of sizes for all popular Class A, B, and C motorhomes, as well as covers for truck bed campers, and all types of trailers including 5th wheels and pop-up campers. Each provides superior fit for maximum protection and even large motorhome covers are surprisingly easy to install.

In addition to RV covers we offer a complete line of specialty covers. An A/C cover will protect the unit from dirt, leaves, and weathering when it’s not being used, and keep out cold drafts. A 5th wheel skirt can turn the wasted space under the overhang into a useable storage area for bikes and outdoor furniture. They feature a cutout for the tongue and zippered opening for easy access. A windshield cover will provide privacy and prevent dash and interior fading; and blocking the sun will also keep the inside of the coach cooler. Covers are available for all size RVs, and include models made specifically to fit the cabs on popular Class C motor homes. Tire covers will protect your camper’s tires from damaging UV rays and help preserve the wheel finish. UV rays and heat from the sun can prematurely age rubber, and after prolonged exposure tires can develop cracks and deteriorate. We offer tire guards to protect motor home and trailer tires while parked, as well as spare tire covers. Tire guards are available in single and multi-axle versions, in a range of colors and tire diameters. Multi-axle covers are time savers because multiple tires can be covered at the same time. Spare tire covers come in your choice of colors or designs in all popular tire diameters.
