As the chill of winter gives way to warmer days, it’s the perfect time to get your RV generator ready for the season ahead. Whether you’re planning to hit the open road or storing your RV for future adventures, a little seasonal maintenance can make all the difference in performance and reliability. At The RV Shop, our expert team takes care of everything to ensure your generator is road-trip ready.
1. Inspect and Clean the Exterior
After a long winter, your generator may be covered in dust, debris, or grime. Our technicians start by thoroughly inspecting the exterior for any visible damage or corrosion. We then clean every nook and cranny—including cooling vents and exhaust areas—so your generator runs cooler and operates more efficiently.
2. Check and Change the Oil
Oil can degrade over time, especially when your generator has been idle. At The RV Shop, we follow your owner’s manual guidelines to change the oil with the recommended type and interval. A fresh oil change prevents engine wear and keeps your generator running smoothly, and we also check for any oil leaks.
3. Fuel System Care
Stale fuel from storage can lead to starting issues and reduced performance. We drain old fuel and replace it with high-quality, fresh fuel. For diesel generators, our experts inspect and replace fuel filters as needed, ensuring you’re ready for the road without unexpected hiccups.
4. Battery Check
A healthy battery is crucial for starting your generator and powering additional features. We clean any corrosion from the battery terminals, check the voltage, and secure all connections. If your battery is showing signs of weakness, our team will recommend a timely replacement.
5. Run a Test Cycle
After completing our comprehensive inspections and maintenance tasks, we run your generator through a test cycle. We listen for any unusual noises and closely monitor performance. This test run confirms that your generator is operating as it should and helps us identify any issues that might need further attention.
6. Safety and Ventilation
Proper installation in a well-ventilated area is key to safe operation. Our team ensures that all safety protocols are in place—preventing the build-up of exhaust fumes and keeping your generator cool. This is essential whether you’re camping or parked at home.
7. Documenting Your Maintenance
We provide you with a detailed log of all the maintenance work performed. Not only does this help you keep track of future service needs, but it also adds value to your RV should you ever decide to sell it. Our comprehensive records provide reassurance to future buyers that your RV has received exceptional care.
