Regular maintenance can help keep your RV safe and functioning smoothly season after season. Although you can perform basic tune-ups yourself, let the experts handle critical repairs and extensive maintenance services. However, don’t just arrive at your nearest RV service department unannounced. This can cause delays in getting your vehicle serviced and back home.

MIG RV is your local camper service department in Bellefontaine, OH, and we are excited to give your machine the attention it deserves. Make this experience quick and seamless by preparing your RV using the tips below!

Create a Maintenance Checklist

First, create a maintenance checklist of all the tasks you hope the mechanic can help you with, then visit the service department. Refer to your owner’s manual for manufacturer suggestions. Different camper makes and models have various distinct service needs, and you’ll want to do what’s best for your machine.

Include regular maintenance tasks, such as oil changes, fluid checks, battery maintenance, and inspections for brakes, AC systems, water tanks, roof seams, and wheel bearings, to help tune up your machine. You’ll also want to incorporate tire maintenance into your list.

Schedule an Appointment

At this point, call your preferred RV service department to book an appointment. Reputable dealerships are usually busy and don’t entertain customers who walk into their office to get their camper serviced. It’s good to schedule an appointment and have a dedicated professional aligned with you. This will help speed up the servicing process and quickly get you back on the road.

Review the Checklist with Your Mechanic

When you arrive at the service department, share your maintenance checklist with the assigned mechanic. This will help them understand your specific concerns and streamline the service process.

We hope you find this guide handy. If you want to visit our service department at MIG RV, dial (937) 210-5006. We are in Bellefontaine, OH, and proudly serve our patrons from Columbus and Mansfield!
