When you plan to make a trip, are you ensuring that your rig and tow vehicle is properly maintained, inspected and ready for road worthiness?
We've all seen the posts on facebook and other social media channels where a rig had a major issue; tire blow out, leaf spring snapping, wheel bearings locking or other major issues.
So, what is your routine maintenance check list? In this episode we discuss how we prepared ahead of time over a series of a few weeks to prepare for our next big move.
Maintenance:
- Checking and re-sealing the roof
- Greasing the wheel bearings

- Torque tightening wheels and U Bolts
- Checking tires and tire pressure
- replacing TPMS batteries
- Checking all caulk lines
Trip planning:
