RV FEATURE
We ’ ve found a proprietary aluminium cleaning product like Purple is excellent for cleaning RV checkerplate . Natural alternatives , such as orange oil , are also suitable for cleaning your RV ’ s interior .
ROOF
While an RV ’ s roof isn ’ t the easiest area to reach , it ’ s important to check a few other things up top besides giving the roof a general clean . Specifically , take a look around the air-conditioner , which can act as a trapping point for leaf litter or debris , and remove anything you come across .
Also inspect the roof for mould , clean the hatches , and give the seals a good wipe over before finishing with a proprietary product to lubricate them . Don ’ t overlook these areas as they ’ re entry points for dust and insects .
Finally , give the TV aerial a once over , and check its instruction manual to see whether it should be lubricated with a bit of grease , lanolin or silicone spray , as they can differ .
Just a light clean is required when you keep on top of things
TYRES
To help reduce the chances of flat spots and cracking on tyre walls , we like to inflate our RV ’ s tyres to their maximum pressure before storing . It ’ s also a good idea to position the van with the stabiliser legs lowered and the tyre walls covered .
