Your Road Trip Maintenance Checklist

Powersports & RV Maintenance Checklist Before You Hit the Road

Planning the perfect adventure starts long before you hit the road. Whether you’re hauling an RV through national parks or carving trails on your ATV, a little maintenance goes a long way in keeping your trip stress-free. Use this road trip maintenance checklist to make sure your vehicle—and your plans—stay on track.

Powersports Maintenance Essentials (ATVs, Motorcycles, UTVs)

  • Tires: Check pressure and tread wear
  • Engine Oil & Coolant: Top off or replace as needed
  • Brakes & Lights: Test responsiveness and replace worn pads or bulbs
  • Battery: Charge fully and test performance
  • Chain & Drive: Lubricate and inspect for tension
  • Air Filter: Clean or replace to optimize performance
  • Safety Gear: Double-check helmet, gloves, boots, and any protective equipment

RV Maintenance Essentials

  • Tires: Inspect for cracks, tread wear, and proper pressure
  • Fluids: Check and top off oil, brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid
  • Battery: Test charge and clean terminals
  • Roof & Seals: Inspect for leaks or damage • Water System: Sanitize and flush before use
  • Lights & Electronics: Confirm all signals, brake lights, and interior systems are working
  • Propane System: Check for leaks and verify all appliances are functioning properly

Don’t Skip the Basics

Before you hit the road, make sure you have:

  • A stocked emergency kit
  • Your spare tire, jack, and toolset
  • Up-to-date insurance and registration
  • Any travel permits or campground confirmations
  • A printed or saved copy of your route, just in case the signal drops

When in Doubt, Ask a Pro

Some things are easy DIY fixes—but not everything. If you’re unsure about a sound, light, or dashboard warning, have a service technician take a look before your trip. A professional tune-up can save you from headaches miles down the road.

Your trip deserves your full attention—not roadside stress. This road trip maintenance checklist helps you enjoy every mile knowing your vehicle is road (or trail) ready.
