Used Motorhomes Spring Checks



Now that the motorhome season is almost upon us in 2012, Motorhome Sales would like to remind you of the  routine checks you need to make on your used motorhome.  Most of our motorhomes would have been stored for the winter and being sugject to freezing temperatures, wind, rain and snow, which are not a good combination for your vehicle that is not being regularly used.


It is a good idea to get your used motorhome checked by a professional to make sure you are not left stranded or without important facilities.  If you give us a call at motorhome sales we will gladly take a look at your useu

 The Motorhome check consists of:
  • Tyre pressure checks
  • Oil level check
  • Gas Connections:  All of your appliances will have their gas supplied checked and any rubber hoses and connectors will be checked for any damage.  Rubber pipes are prone to perish over time, especially through the winter months.
  • Water Systems: All water systems should be drained and refilled and checked for any leaks.
  • Leisure Battery: A full test should be carried out to make sure the battery sufficiently holds a charge and powers the equipment in your used motorhome.
  • Engine Battery: As with the leisure battery this should be checked thoroughly and also checked to see if it starts the engine ok.  The engine should be started at least every two weeks when the motorhome is not being used.

Goggle Maps shows off it's live data feature

You may be a seasoned traveller in your used motorhomes and no all routes like the back of your hand, however the route you know very well may still not be the best route to take.  Google maps will give you several route options that feature live traffic information allowing you to choose an alternative route with less traffic.

You can now check for congestion or traffic problems before setting off on your journey. Although, as you are aware, in most cases traffic problems occur throughout the day so what may have been clear as you planned your route could now be congested due to accidents or sheer amount of traffic to one particular location.  This is overcome by using Google maps on your smart phone on route, therefore any pending problems on the roads can now be avoided.

Google maps also contains backdated data on traffic patterns, showing previous traffic spots and predictions of traffic on certain times i.e. rush hour traffic, holiday traffic etc.  This is a perfect addition for when planning a route at certain times, i.e. you want travel home on Sunday evening a certain road but find that it is heavily congested at that time based on collected data.

You can become the most savvy navigator in your used motorhome and reach your destinations without encountering any traffic.
