Great ideas for annual checks. A couple of items we also do: 1) open up the fridge vent to vaccum the back, blow out the tubes and ensure the condensation tube is clear 2) spray the propane hose and connections with soapy water to check for any leaks, 3) look for any rust under the battery box rails/tounge , bumper etc. and touch up the paint to limit suface rust from spreading

You definitely want to have a second ABC fire extinguisher available, but you want it separate from the main one. As a retired firefighter/ paramedic I've seen too many cases where either the first one used failed or the fire was too close to the primary one. With a 5th wheel, I'd carry one with the tow vehicle so it has one while away from the rig then two on the rig. If you've ever seen an RV burning you'd carry bigger extinguishers. If you have a local RV club, arrange for a local Extinguisher provider to put on a hands-on demo where everyone gets to use one on a small fire. You need to practice the PASS method- Pull pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, then Sweep the fire off the fuel bed. Most lay people use it like The Terminator and fail. Get a dual sensor smoke alarm. The cheap ionization ones work well on free-burning fires but you really should have a photosensor for slow smokey fires. Vacuum it annually and replace every 10 yrs. CO alarms are just death alarms. They do NOT protect at chronic or low-level exposures. You want an unlisted CO monitor not listed to UL 2034 or UL 2075. Those stds. set the algorithms such that it does not alert until you theoretically have 10% COHb- carboxyhemoglobin, which is the medical definition of CO poisoning for a smoker. I carry my same Inspector Pro model that I wear every day: sensorcon.com/pages/co-collection I wear it on planes, RV but especially in hotels and restaurants, which is where it alerts most often. Get the Pro intrinsically safe model. You toss them after 2 hrs but what is your life worth? Propane is heavier than air to make sure yours is mounted right at the floor level as shown by Jared. You must use a non-corrosive soap bubble solution or rinse well because the chlorine in soaps will cause stress cracking in brass. Using an open flame to check for leaks is stupid not only for the obvious insanity- most plumbers do it. The lower explosive limit for LP is 2.15% by volume. That means 21,500 parts per million before it theoretically should be capable of igniting. Most, but not all humans are sensitive to the odorants used with NG and LP gas. Typically it is ethyl or methyl mercaptan but there are about 2 dozen compounds used. Most smell similar to rotten eggs from the sulphur. They can typically be detected by humans in the range of a few parts per billion. Therefore, if you detect a Whiff of Jiff, don't panic. Typical electronic sniffers can detect methane (NG) no lower than 10ppm with 50 ppm the most common. Some of these same sniffers won't detect LP lower than 500 ppm. Commercially prepared soap bubble solns are the best. You can get them from HVAC and plumbing supply houses. High viscosity fluids aren't blown away so easily by higher level leaks while those nuisance micro leaks require a thin-film low viscosity soln. I like www.refrigtech.com/big-blu/ as I'm nowadays a HVAC/ fireplace trainer/ technician. Note all gas valves have an allowed trace gas leakage rate per ANSI- American National Standards Institute. It calls for max. 225ppm leakage through the gas valve seals and 235 ppm through the main operator to the burner at 3/4 psi or 21 wci. Even space ships and submarines leak. HTH

Jared, I totally enjoy your videos. and have incorporated many of your ideas...thanks! As a former (retired) firefighter and instructor, I ask you to consider the following regarding fire extinguishers: First, purchase a better ABC fire extinguisher (or two). Get one that is larger, and make sure you are prepared to use them. Many better options out there than what is supplied by manufacturers. Replace anything older than three to five years...-please! . Every few months, take the extinguisher, and turn it on its side, so the powder inside moves around. Tap it lightly with a hammer to move the powder around. Again, after 3-5 years, simply replace them. Sorry...seems like a waste, and some fire departments will take the old extinguishers for training purposes, but many will not.

Lubricate the rubber seals around the doors and slides, check the caulk around the doors to make sure it hasn't cracked as this happens as the RV twists going down the road and can be a source of water infiltration. Check the sacrificial anode rod on the water tank. Lubricate the wet bolts on the leaf spring hangers if you have them. I clean my water lines with Clorox. Clean the AC filter.

Another suggested annual check (ideally before every trip): check the torque on your wheel’s lug nuts. Our system is to do this in conjunction with checking RV tire pressure. Relatedly, it’s a good idea to carry a torque wrench with you, so that you can follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedure to check the lug nut torque at prescribed intervals (e.g. 50, 100 & 200 miles) after installing the spare tire on your RV (or tow vehicle). And be sure to torque the lug nuts in a “cross pattern” (e.g. tighten / check the nuts at the 11 o’clock & 5 o’clock positions; 1 & 7; then 9 & 3 o’clock, instead of checking them one by one in a clockwise/ counterclockwise circle). One last thing: when was the last time you checked the tire pressure in your spare - both the RV & tow vehicle?

I put a smaller whiteboard by the door to write down things I need to repair before our next trip. It's easy to think of something that needs to be done when you find a problem, but just as easy to forget to do the repair after you get home. When the problem is fixed, erase it from the board. I can see the board every time I walk out the door, so I remember what needs to be fixed. The whiteboard works great for winterizing/de-winterizing reminders also. There's always something I forgot to do, but now I can write it down to help me remember. Very inexpensive item and it can be attached to wall with Command strips so no damage to walls. Our board came with different colored markers so I color code repairs need with different colors depending on importance of repairs.

I had to come back after checking my fresh water hose. I've never cleaned it and I've had it for over 6 years. There's nothing growing in it. I actually had something growing in my fresh water tank when I first got my camper. I found some kind of brownish flake in my water filter screen and then vinegared my tank liberally. It look a really long time to stop smelling vinegar in the hot water specially, but when I'd refill water (I've never filled my tank without using a charcoal filter) I'd completely drain the previous tankful and catch it in a clear cup so I could monitor how much particulate was in it. Eventually the water came out perfectly clean with nothing in the wire mesh strainer (it also has one of those filter stones). I also have accidently filled my tank with a brand new charcoal filter so I bunch of activated charcoal was dumped right into it, wonder if that helped clean it out. But the hose has never even been suspect. I do, with both my fresh water hose and my black tank sprayer hose, recoil the hose every time in a way that drains all the water out. I wonder if that may be why there's no growth in it. That being said, maybe I just can't see it so I'm going to vacuum a string into it and pull a damp alcohol swab through it to see if something might be in there. I have a new bore scope, I can see 15ft into it with that. I might try that first. Actually, I don't think my fresh water hose is much longer than 10 feet come to think of it.
