Here is a checklist to prepare your RV for your upcoming adventures.

• Open all doors and compartments. Check for rodent intrusion and water damage.
• Replace any dry cell batteries you may have removed for winter storage.
• Test the carbon monoxide detector, the LP gas leak detector and the smoke detector.
• Check the fire extinguisher and make sure it is fully charged.
• Open the awning to let it dry.
• Raise the radio / TV antenna.
• Inspect all seams, windows and vents for water damage and reseal if necessary.
• Lubricate all hinges and locks with spray lubricant.
