Winter brings its own set of RV problems — even in Southern California, where the rain season tests roofs and mountain trips test plumbing.
Roof leaks with the first rains
Sealant that cracked over summer lets water in when the rain starts. The fix: a fall roof inspection. See free fall roof inspection.
Frozen plumbing
RVs used or stored in the mountains can freeze. Winterize, or use heat and tank heaters. See winterizing your RV.
Dead batteries
Cold and storage drain batteries. Keep them charged or disconnected.
Furnace problems
A furnace that hasn’t run since last year may not light. Test it before you need it.
Condensation and mold
Closed-up RVs trap moisture. Ventilate and check corners and cabinets.
Tires
Pressure drops in the cold. Check before every trip.
