Proper maintenance of your trailer will help you have a great time on vacation without the hassle. All you need is the right products on hand to maintain your trailer. Here are 5 products that you absolutely must have at home to maintain your tent trailer or trailer.
1. Awning maintenance product
Your trailer awning deserves regular maintenance to stay in good condition. To do this, it is recommended to use a mild soap that will clean the dirt on the awning canvas without damaging its color. By choosing a specialized product for trailer awning maintenance, you will help extend its lifespan.
If the awning canvas is broken or too worn, know that it is possible to replace it with a custom-made awning canvas or a universal canvas.
2. Roof maintenance product
It is no longer a secret to anyone: maintaining the trailer roof with the appropriate products is essential. The roof requires special care. Note that silicone does not adhere to the roof membrane.
Dicor brand sealant is certainly one of the best-selling products for caravan roof maintenance. It is used especially at the beginning of the season, during the dewinterization, and at the end of the season for thewinterization trailer. It is also recommended to apply it throughout the summer, as needed, to help keep your trailer roof waterproof. An essential maintenance product for all trailer owners! Don't forget to always clean your roof with a cleaner specifically designed for this purpose.
3. Product for the maintenance of joints
In addition to the roof, the seals of your trailer must be treated several times a year, especially at the beginning and end of the season. A small gesture that could prevent possible water infiltration and many problems during the summer!
Remember to bring a plastic scraper, a degreaser cleaner and a sealant for maintaining the joints of your caravan. There are several sealants and maintenance products for trailer joints. When in doubt, ask the advice of our sales consultants at Roulottes Chaudière to choose a good quality maintenance product to extend the life of your unit.
4. Toilet maintenance product
The toilet in your trailer and the toilet in your residence each require specific maintenance. To avoid any inconveniences while camping, it is recommended to use cleaning products specifically designed for trailer toilets.
These products promote better decomposition of solid waste and paper, allowing for easier emptying. Gentle and effective, trailer toilet cleaners also help protect the environment. A significant issue for camping and outdoor enthusiasts!
5. Product for exterior maintenance
Maintaining the exterior of your unit first depends on the exterior siding of your trailer. Is your trailer made of aluminum or fiberglass?
The paint on fiberglass trailers is similar to the paint on a car. It does not chip and requires less polishing. The paint on aluminum trailers, on the other hand, may require more rigorous maintenance. But in both cases, it is strongly recommended to use specialized products for the exterior maintenance of trailers to keep your unit in good condition over the years.
