π Camping Season Is Winding Downβ¦ Is Your RV Ready?
Itβs hard to believe, but for many of our Northern Indiana campers, weβre entering the last 4β6 weeks of camping season! πποΈ
Before you park your RV for the winter, give the Showalter RV Service Department a call and get your winterization appointment on the schedule.
And remember when you winterize with us, we donβt just protect your plumbing system and send you on your way.
β
Every winterization includes our 24-POINT RV INSPECTION!
While your RV is here, our technicians look over key areas including:
π§ Roof, seals & exterior components
π§ Slide-outs & awnings
π§ Tires, brakes & suspension
π§ Electrical & batteries
π§ Plumbing components
π§ Safety equipment
π§ Propane system
π§ And more!
Why do we do this during winterization? Because spring camping is a whole lot more fun when you already know what your RV needs. If we spot maintenance or repairs now, you have the off-season to address them instead of discovering a problem when youβre ready for that first camping trip next year.
π And donβt forget those wheel bearings!
Wheel bearings should generally be inspected/repacked about every 2 years or 10,000 miles and itβs one of those maintenance items thatβs easy to forget.
Regular wheel-bearing service allows us to clean and inspect the bearings, replace the grease, inspect seals and look for signs of wear, overheating or damage. Properly maintained bearings help reduce the risk of bearing failure, excessive heat and costly roadside breakdowns exactly the kind of surprise nobody wants while towing their camper!
π Winterize it. Inspect it. Maintain it. Park it.
Then when spring rolls around, youβre that much closer to hooking up and heading to the campground.
