RV Spring Cleaning Checklist

Spring is here! It's time to get your RV ready for camping season. We've combined a checklist to ensure you've covered all the areas of your RV so it's in tip-top shape for camping season!

  1. Open the windows and let your RV breathe! Remember, your RV has been closed up all winter, so you really want to open all the doors and windows and air it out.

  2. While you let the inside air out, being with cleaning the exterior of your RV. Wash all sides, the roof, your holding tanks and your awnings! Make sure to check for any leaky seals, rips, tears or damage that you may want to repair before you begin using it for the season.

  3. Remove your cushions and pillows and give them a good shake. If they smell a little musty, spray them down and let them sit outside to dry.

  4. Clean out your RV cabinets and drawers. Get rid of stuff you know you don’t use anymore and wipe down the inside. Now is a great time to reorganize all your belongings.

  5. Dust all surfaces with a microfiber dusting cloth. Make sure you get the outside of your cabinets and drawers, your countertops and behind your electronics and appliances.

  6. Use a warm washcloth to wipe down your windows and doors and vacuum and mop the floor to keep everything in good condition.

  7. Make sure to wipe down the insides and outside of your appliances and electronics as well – this is where a lot of dirt, grime and bacteria may grow.

  8. Thoroughly clean and disinfect the bathroom and kitchen including the toilet, show and sinks.

  9. Perform regular preventative maintenance by checking out the engines and your tires. The last thing you want is to have an engine or tire problem on your first trip.

  10. If you have a towing or towed vehicle, you may want to give it a thorough cleaning too.

    With these 10 tips, you'll be set for your first RV trip of the season! The best part - it'll feel brand new!
