An RV, or recreational vehicle, is a trailer that acts as a living quarters during travel. It’s like a mini house on wheels, incredibly useful for campers, globetrotters, or general travel enthusiasts. The vehicle has several names, like housecar, motorhome, camp trailer, and travel trailer. But just like any machine, an RV can wear over time and run into problems, even when maintained. While some problems can be fixed easily DIY, others need professional help. Leaks or water intrusion Since RVs go over many road bumps, they may harbor cracks or leaks over time. If left untreated, one may notice water intrusion. It’s quite a common problem with RVs but should be promptly addressed to avoid damaging the interior and exterior. Cracks can occur anywhere, whether on the roof, windows, walls, or seams, but a leaky roof is relatively more common. One way to fix cracks is to cover them with a sealant. If that doesn’t solve the issue, it’s best to replace the damaged section of the roof promptly. Even leaky faucets are common and can be fixed by replacing the washer, heating element, or another part. Malfunctioning appliances All RVs have a functional kitchen with essential appliances like a stove, mini refrigerator, cooler, and microwave.
