The snow is melting. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and you’re ready to come out of hibernation and explore new places this camping season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before you hit the open road, you’ve got to get your RV in shape. You took care of it before winter by winterizing your RV<\/a>. Now it’s time to dewinterize your RV<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When combined with routine RV maintenance, dewinterization will help you spot problems before they result in the most expensive RV repairs<\/strong>.<\/a> That means fun, <\/em>hassle-free camping<\/em> trips<\/strong> for the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s break the ice, and learn how to dewinterize your RV for the 2023 camping season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing Your RV for the Camping Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Prepare<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dewinterizing your RV means undoing all the changes you made when winterizing your RV in the fall. Here are the three basic steps for how to winterize any RV<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Inspect the RV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Perform routine maintenance<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Clean the RV water systems<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Now, let’s flesh those steps out into a checklist you can use when you dewinterize your RV<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Inspect Your RV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Remove the RV coverings and debris from around, inside, or on top of your RV. To perform a good inspection, you need to be able to see everywhere to do a good inspection.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Roof Inspection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Start at the top. Look for any signs of weather-related damage, cracks, or leaks<\/strong> on the RV’s exterior at the seams and seals. Pay close attention to any cracked caulk along the seams<\/strong>, as this can lead to water damage if left untreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. \n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Don’t forget to give your air conditioning units some attention as well. Replace the filter, remove the shrouds, and clean the evaporator and condenser coils using an HVAC spray cleaner. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Address any damaged seals or roof coating to prevent deterioration or water damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
