RV and Motorhome Service in Orange County

PR Log (Press Release) – Feb 09, 2010 – With spring around the corner and summer close behind many RV and motor home owners are beginning to plan their annual pilgrimages to destinations far and wide. Of course, no road trip is effectively launched without having the vehicle fully serviced and making any necessary repairs. Only a few fortunate, retired individuals travel in their RVs year round.  Most motor homes spend the majority of the year in storage lots, garages or backyards. Even though they appear to only be collecting dust, damage can occur during non-operation, especially if exposed to direct sun or extreme heat.  Therefore, finding a service center that will conduct a thorough inspection, identify problem areas and make accurate repairs is crucial.  

Making sure that a service center is qualified to inspect and repair your type of motor home or RV is as easy as asking a few questions.  Ask how many RVs and motor homes the center services on a regular basis and how many of those are similar to your make and model.  If the center mostly services small passenger vehicles and only sees a handful of RVs it’s probably a good idea to consider another option.  Next, take a look at their service bays and ask if they can lift vehicles in the same weight class as yours. This will identify if the work is being done on the premises or being conducted at another location. Also ask about their parts and accessories inventory.  A fully stocked parts department will indicate that the center specializes in motor home repair and that the work will be done quickly without shipping delays from the manufacturer.  

Once you have selected a service center and it's time for that big pre-trip service appointment, make sure that your service package includes fuel filter diagnostics, transmission and brake fluid changes as well as ignition wire inspection.  The best RV and motor home service centers will also offer recommended service schedules, such as changing the engine oil and oil filter every 75 operating hours or 12 months.  Some centers also offer customer education. Helpful tips such as, run the generator and motor once a month or check the roof for sealant cracking, will help you to best maintain your vehicle and prevent expensive repairs in the future.  With the help of an efficient and knowledgeable service team your mobile home-away-from-home can be made ready for the road and many happy memories to follow.
