RV Pre-Trip Checklist
Exterior RV Pre-Trip Checklist

Leaks
: You will be required to look for fluid leaks from your vehicle. Fluid loss could indicate component failure in areas where levels might not be readily checked (i.e., transmission or fuel systems).
Prepare refrigerator for traveling: Make sure items are packed tight and ready for travel.
Tires:
Check for proper inflation, tire condition (checking for cuts or other damage to tires), and tread depth. Too much or too little air pressure results in bad wear of tires. The tire cannot have any fabric showing through the tread or sidewall.
