Protect Your Investment During Cold Months
Proper winterization is essential for preventing freeze damage to your RV's water systems, appliances, and other components. Our thorough winterization process addresses every vulnerable system in your recreational vehicle, providing complete protection throughout the cold season.
Our team drain and bypass your water heater, blow out water lines with compressed air, and add non-toxic antifreeze to all P-traps and drains. We also disconnect and properly store batteries, inspect roof seals, and prepare exterior surfaces for winter storage. This comprehensive approach ensures your RV remains in excellent condition, ready for your next adventure when spring arrives.

A/C Maintenance and Performance Optimization
Your RV's air conditioning system works harder than a typical residential unit, operating in challenging conditions while subject to constant vibration. Regular maintenance is essential for efficient cooling, reduced energy consumption, and extended system life.
Our comprehensive A/C maintenance service includes cleaning or replacing filters, inspecting and cleaning evaporator and condenser coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical components, and ensuring proper drainage. We also verify proper operation of thermostats and control systems to ensure your comfort in any climate.
For RVs with multiple A/C units, we provide complete system evaluation to ensure balanced operation and maximum efficiency. Our team can also recommend and install upgrades such as high-efficiency fans, improved duct systems, or digital thermostats that enhance cooling performance while reducing power consumption.
Slide-Out System Maintenance
- Complete Mechanism Inspection: Evaluation of all moving parts, motors, and controllers
- Track Cleaning and Lubrication: Removal of debris and application of appropriate lubricants
- Seal Conditioning and Treatment: Application of specialized protectants to prevent deterioration
- Alignment Adjustment: Correction of tracking issues to ensure smooth, even operation

Slide-out systems add valuable living space to your RV but require regular maintenance to operate reliably. Our slide maintenance service addresses all aspects of these complex systems, from mechanical components to seals and electronic controls. Our team are experienced with all major slide types including hydraulic, electric screw, and Schwintek systems.
Importance of Regular Slide Maintenance
Regular maintenance prevents common slide problems such as binding, seal leaks, and motor failures. By keeping tracks clean, mechanisms properly lubricated, and seals conditioned, we help ensure your slides operate smoothly and remain weathertight. This preventative approach saves you from costly emergency repairs and extends the life of these expensive systems.
Axle Service and Suspension Maintenance
Your RV's axles and suspension components carry tremendous loads and require regular inspection and maintenance to ensure safe operation. Our comprehensive axle service includes bearing inspection and repacking, brake component evaluation, and suspension system assessment.
Bearing Maintenance: Critical for Safe Travel
Wheel bearings are among the most critical components of your RV's running gear. Our bearing service includes complete disassembly, inspection, cleaning, and repacking with premium grease specifically formulated for RV applications. We also inspect and replace bearing seals to prevent contamination and ensure long service life.
Brake System Inspection and Adjustment
For trailers and fifth wheels, we provide complete electric brake service including magnet inspection, controller testing, and adjustment for optimal braking performance. Our team verify proper synchronization between tow vehicle and trailer braking systems, ensuring safe stopping under all conditions.
Suspension Component Evaluation
We inspect all suspension components including springs, shackles, bushings, and equalizers for wear or damage. Our service includes tightening all suspension fasteners to proper torque specifications and lubricating moving components where appropriate. For air suspension systems, we check for leaks, verify proper operation of leveling systems, and inspect air bags for signs of deterioration.
Roof Seal Inspection and Maintenance
Water intrusion through roof seals is one of the most common and costly problems affecting RVs. Our roof seal maintenance service includes thorough inspection of all roof penetrations, seams, and attachment points, followed by appropriate cleaning, repair, and resealing using premium materials specifically designed for RV applications.
We work with all roof types including rubber (EPDM), TPO, fiberglass, and aluminum, using the correct sealants and techniques for each material. Our team not only address visible issues but also inspect for signs of hidden water damage that could lead to more serious problems if left unaddressed.
In addition to seal maintenance, we provide complete roof cleaning and treatment services that remove oxidation, kill mold and mildew, and apply UV protectants that extend the life of your RV's roof. Regular maintenance of this critical area prevents water damage to interior components and structural elements, potentially saving thousands in repair costs.
For rubber and TPO roofs, we apply specialized conditioners that prevent drying and cracking, maintaining the roof's elasticity and water resistance. Fiberglass roofs receive appropriate treatments to prevent oxidation and maintain their protective gel coat, while aluminum roofs are inspected for corrosion and properly sealed at all joints and fastener points.
