RV Maintenance

Now that the nice weather is here (for some of us!), it is time to do a little maintenance on the rv! We realized a few camps ago that we desperately needed to clean the awning. But how to do that efficiently and effectively? Hubby googled it and found a perfect method! He got a spray bottle of bleach water and sprayed the awning in the open position. Then he rolled it up and let it sit for 40 min or so. Opened it back up, used our outdoor hose (you know those 'as seen on tv' green hoses that shrink down to nothing when not in use? BUY ONE!) to rinse it off and BOOM! Nice and clean with very little effort or time!
Since then he has also greased the stabilizers and changed a few outdoor lightbulbs. I am sure he'll find other things to putter on - he always does!
A great idea for ANY rv maintenance routine is to always have a ready supply of 'spares' - bulbs, fuses, etc. Hubby has a flat tackle box type container that he uses for just such a purpose. Not only does it make yearly maintenance easier, but should something 'go' while we are out on a camp (especially a long distance one) he always has spares and can do spot fixes! 
Happy RV'ing!
