Solutions and Fixes to Common RV Problems

RVs experience problems just like any other working thing does. These issues always seem to happen at the most inconvenient times. If you find yourself dealing with a common RV problem, we’ll help you find a solution so that you can get back on the road to adventure.

Electrical Problems

Your home isn’t the only area where you’re bound to run into electrical issues. Outlets may stop working, wires can come loose, and buttons or switches can malfunction. If you run into electrical problems, it’s best to take your RV into a shop to have it professionally examined.

Unless you’re an electrician, attempting the DIY is not worth the risk of electrocution or other injuries.

An Excess of Sand and Dirt in the RV

The easiest way to fix this problem is to avoid camping, but since you’re reading this, that’s most likely not a solution. Unfortunately, mud, dirt, sand, and other debris are part of the camping experience.

Instruct everyone to remove their shoes before climbing into the RV to help cut down on dirt and sand. Leave a large dishpan filled with water next to the entrance for people to rinse off their feet before entering.

Using outdoor rugs is another excellent way to cut down on the dirt and sand problem. Shake them out each time before you bring them inside.

Uh-Oh, There’s a Flat Tire

Is anything scarier than driving down the road and getting a flat tire? It’s such a frightening situation. Sometimes you can avoid it by simply checking the tire pressure, but other times, it’s just bad luck of running over something sharp on the road.

Always ensure your spare tire is ready to go for emergency moments like this. Immediately pull over to a safe place and change the tire. If you don’t have the tools to change the tire yourself, call for a tow truck to move your RV to a mechanic who can take care of the flat tire.

Troubles in the Bathroom

Nobody wants to deal with sanitary issues, but they do happen when you’re traveling in an RV. The cause of a leaking toiled may be a malfunctioning rubber seal around the large valve. You’ll need to replace this promptly. The problem could also be with the water valve. If you own an older RV, know that you’ll need to replace the water valve at some point.
