Spring Cleaning your RV Step 3: Washing, Waxing

Spring Cleaning your RV Step 3: Washing, Waxing & Inspecting the Exterior 🚿🛠

Looks matter—but this isn’t just about having a shiny rig!

Washing, waxing, and inspecting your RV’s exterior helps prevent leaks, damage, and costly repairs down the road.

Here’s how to do it right:

✅ Wash away winter grime—use an RV-safe soap to avoid stripping your sealants.

✅ Inspect the roof & seals—cracks or peeling caulking = potential water damage. Reseal if necessary.

✅ Wax for protection—this helps prevent fading and keeps dirt from sticking as easily.

✅ Check tires—look for cracks, low pressure, and uneven wear. Bad tires can be a major safety risk!

✅ Inspect the frame for rust—sand and repaint any corroded spots to prevent further damage.

✅ Check propane lines, slide-out rails, and door seals—these are common problem areas that need attention!

Neglecting the exterior could mean water leaks, mold growth, or even a roadside breakdown.

When was the last time you inspected your RV’s roof? If you’re overdue, drop a ⏳ in the comments!

Save this post for reference, and don’t miss the next step—testing your systems to make sure everything actually works!

Summer Waxing Tip You Haven’t Heard
The secret to a smooth wax isn’t just in the technique—it’s in the temperature. Your wax should look like thick cake batter and cling to the stick for at least 5 seconds before dripping. That’s your sweet spot. Too hot and it’ll be runny (and risky). Too cool and it won’t grip the hair right.
