Owning an Airstream® RV means that you have access to comfortable and luxurious camping whenever you want it. But in order for your Airstream to work correctly, you should be performing regular maintenance tasks on it.

While there are plenty of little upkeep jobs you can do by yourself in your garage with the right tools, it’s still important to have your Airstream RV professionally serviced. This quick guide will help you determine when you need to solicit advice from an experienced mechanic and what to do to prepare for the visit.

When Should I Visit a Service Department?

It’s a good idea to visit your local Airstream service department at least once a year in order to make sure that there aren’t any major issues with your RV that are going unaddressed. You can take care of many tasks at home, but it’s still important to have a professional check everything over.

And, of course, you should seek out professional service any time you feel that a repair on your Airstream is out of your depth, or that you don’t have the right tools to complete a task.

What Should I Do to Get Ready?

First and foremost, contact the service department to schedule an appointment. This will give the department time to get ready for you so that they can devote their full attention to your RV. Most departments simply won’t be able to get you in on a same-day basis because they’ll be busy. Schedule the appointment as far in advance as possible so that you can get your RV serviced before your next trip.

Next, make a list for the mechanics of any issues you’d like them to address specifically, outside of routine maintenance tasks. This will help your mechanic get to work quickly since they’ll know what parts you need help with. Note down as many specifics as you can about the problem(s) you’re having, too.

Finally, it can be helpful if you clean up your Airstream before you take it in for service. Try to remove anything that could be in the way of repairs, including personal items or decorations, and give the exterior a wash so that the mechanics aren’t trying to fix your RV through layers of dirt and grime.
