Enjoy Smooth Travels with These RV Generator Maintenance Tips

RV travel is a unique experience that allows you to have all the conveniences of home while traversing the open road. The generator is one of the most important components of your RV, without which you wouldn’t have all of the amenities you have come to expect and enjoy. MobileRVService.com can connect you with a service provider if you need maintenance for your RV’s generator. Let us share some generator maintenance tips so you can experience smooth travels!

Check the Filter

In order for your generator to operate as it should, you need to ensure the air filter is clean. You should check the filter regularly and then clean or replace it as needed to maintain the maximum airflow. 

Change the Oil

The generator requires oil changes much like the vehicle itself requires oil changes. You can check your manual for recommendations if you want to do this yourself. Otherwise, our providers can give you the RV maintenance you need, including specific care for the generator.

Clean the Battery

Just like you depend on your generator, your generator depends on its battery. Without an operational battery, the generator won't be able to provide power. Keep the battery clean, charged, and free from corrosion, and be sure to check for any signs of damage.

Fuel System Maintenance

The quality of fuel declines over time and can eventually lead to starting issues and generator malfunctions. Using a fuel stabilizer will help prevent your fuel from becoming stale. Your fuel system will also need routine maintenance, including periodic flushing, cleaning, and a filter replacement.

Get an Inspection

Certain systems within your generator need to be inspected consistently, such as the cooling and exhaust systems, to ensure no leaks or damage. An occasional professional RV inspection can also help identify any unseen issues.
