๐ Camping Season Is Winding Downโฆ Is Your RV Ready?
Itโs hard to believe, but for many of our Northern Indiana campers, weโre entering the last 4โ6 weeks of camping season! ๐๐๏ธ
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 donโt just protect your plumbing system and send you on your way.
โ
Every winterization includes our 24-POINT RV INSPECTION!
While your RV is here, our technicians look over key areas including:
๐ง Roof, seals & exterior components
๐ง Slide-outs & awnings
๐ง Tires, brakes & suspension
๐ง Electrical & batteries
๐ง Plumbing components
๐ง Safety equipment
๐ง Propane system
๐ง 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 youโre ready for that first camping trip next year.
๐ And donโt forget those wheel bearings!
Wheel bearings should generally be inspected/repacked about every 2 years or 10,000 miles and itโs one of those maintenance items thatโs 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!
๐ Winterize it. Inspect it. Maintain it. Park it.
Then when spring rolls around, youโre that much closer to hooking up and heading to the campground.
๐ Call us today 574-773-2670 to schedule your winterization and ask about adding a wheel-bearing repack while your RV is already here!
