Essential RV Spare Parts to Keep on Hand
Your RV is a complicated piece of machinery with multiple complex systems dependent upon several important parts. It is hardly surprising that your camper needs the occasional maintenance work to continue performing smoothly. Interrupting your camping trip and visiting the nearest dealership due to a faulty RV component is the last thing you want. The best solution is to have a few spare parts on hand for quick repairs!
LP Gas Regulator
Your RV’s LP gas regulator controls the flow of propane from the gas tank to the appliances. This essential part helps keep things in the refrigerator cold and ensures you have warm water for your shower. Thankfully, spotting and fixing a malfunction in the LP gas regulator is easy if you have a spare part on hand. If you notice the flame on your gas range is higher or lower than it should be, you’ll want to replace the faulty part to get the system functional again.
Water Pump Parts
If debris finds its way into your RV’s water system, it can cause the pump valve to malfunction. If you notice a problem in your water pressure, get out your spare impeller part or overhaul kit to fix the problem and return to enjoying your trip.
Fuses
Replacing a fuse is straightforward as long as you know what you are doing. However, you will need to find compatible models for your RV by looking up your owner’s manual. You’ll also find other useful information about camper maintenance, so keep your document handy!
Lightbulbs
Furthermore, keep a few light bulbs on hand in case one of your camper’s lights stops working mid-trip. We recommend incandescent bulbs over fluorescent bulbs, as the motion of your RV can lead to your stored bulbs shifting during transit, and fluorescent bulbs are more prone to breaking.
