Most drivers have experienced a flat battery.It can happen at the most unfortunate time, like when you are about to go to a wedding or go out on a first date.But whenever or whatever the time or circumstance, it is always inconvenient and it usually costs money.The funny thing is, if you have your car serviced regularly, your mechanic will be able to prevent this from happening in the first place by alerting you to potential problems.In this article we will have a look at some ways you can prevent battery problems yourself and learn three easy things you can do on a regular basis to make sure you are never stranded again.Most modern cars have fully sealed batteries and problems can be difficult to detect without expert attention.But many older vehicles have easy to maintain batteries and you can soon learn the tell-tale signs of a pending problem.Corroded terminals are an easy to spot sign that all is not well.You will see discolouration around the terminals, perhaps white powder or similar discolouration which means that the terminals are corroding because of the action of acid leaking from the battery.If these problems are not fixed quickly you will soon reach a point where the engine will not start and if the wiring has been badly affected, then you may be facing expensive repairs to the wiring as well as replacement of the battery.Here are three things you can do to get yourself out of this predicament.Make sure the terminals are clean.Check both positive and negative terminals of the battery at least every month.Remove the wiring and using a post-scrubber clean both terminals to ensure optimal contact.Use a solution of baking soda and water to clean the cables and the terminals.Always wear protective gloves when you are dealing with the engine as well as goggles to protect your eyes.Make sure the battery is filled with distilled water to the optimum level.Most batteries have indicators which will determine the level to which you should fill.Correct electrolyte levels are vital to optimum performance of your car battery, so check the casing for cracks.If you find any you will need to replace the battery immediately.Use a hydrometer to check your battery acid to make sure it is in peak condition and then squirt a solution back into the same chamber.A fully charged battery should have a reading of 1.265 or higher.Anything lower than this means that the battery should be recharged.By performing these three simple tests on a regular basis, you will ensure maximum life for your battery and protect your investment.As stated above, your mechanic will be able to keep an eye on things with regular servicing and this may even obviate the need to you to look at your battery at all.But there is nothing wrong with taking things into your own hands, especially when it comes to your battery, so why not make it a habit to check your battery regularly and get it to the service station before trouble occurs.

Well you've bought the beast and it sits in the side yard just waiting to go out for it's next adventure.However towards the end of your last trip you started to notice some things that you thought needed attention.The first question you have to ask yourself is whether or not you should even attempt some of the maintenance items yourself.Are you ready, or qualified, for do-it-yourself RV repairs? Unless properly trained and prepared, recreational vehicle owners should not attempt to make certain repairs or perform service on any RV, product or component.If you don't believe me I'll give you my father's phone number and you can ask him how much he paid the mechanic after one of his "I can do it myself thank you very much" attempts.I was there.It turned out very badly.It got VERY dark on the side of the road that cold night in Tennessee.The Two Types of Repairs.There are basically two types of RV service; crisis repairs and preventive maintenance.Preventive maintenance can include such items as the following. checking and sealing the roof, windows, storage compartments and doors, cleaning, flushing and servicing the LP appliances, changing the oil in the generator and chassis engine and checking all fluid levels, cleaning the filters in the roof air conditioners, cleaning and treating your holding tanks, flushing and sanitizing your fresh water system, performing battery maintenance.These can be considered something you do now to prevent something worse from happening later.Call it insurance if you like.Crisis repairs (also known as Holy Cripes what now!), on the other hand, offer no options.The problem is staring you right in the face and if you want to get back on the road it has to be handled now.A few examples of crisis repairs would be an abnormally worn tire, a flat tire, or a blown engine.Fortunately preventive maintenance will go a long way towards minimizing the frequency and the degree of crisis-type repairs.Routine tire inspection and careful study of inflation pressures, checking and cleaning the refrigerator components and checking the LP pressure, regular oil changes, and periodic cleaning of the air conditioner filters can all prevent the above crisis repairs from happening.Keep in mind the old adage.Penny foolish.Pound Wise.Don't try to cut corners.Do It Yourself?Oh yeah, remember that warranty you got along with the vehicle the day you shelled out the bucks to drive it off the dealers lot? Read it carefully before you even attempt to loosen a screw.In some cases, warranties may be voided or manufacturer liability lessened if unauthorized repairs are performed Some maintenance items, though mandated by the product manufacturer, may not be covered by new or extended warranties.Rarely are maintenance items ever covered under warranty.The key is knowing when to actively participate and when to simply make an appointment at your local service facility.So the warranty is run out and you are in the garage getting the tools out.There a few more considerations to ponder before you dive in.Am I physically fit and mechanically adept? - Buck up and realize your limitations there laddie or lassie.Ask yourself, "Can I physically perform the steps necessary to do this?" Many items in, under, on and around motorhomes require quite a bit of physical dexterity to access and remove if needed.Physical limitations may prohibit some of us from performing certain maintenance items.If the subject at hand is truly over your head then it's acceptable to back off and call a pro.You definitely do not want to risk converting a simple maintenance task into a costly crisis repair! It will cost substantially more to undo an error than to simply make an appointment with a service center if the subject is beyond your scope.(Again I offer my dad's phone number to anyone who doubts this.).Do you have a willingness to learn - If you truly want to be able to perform some routine maintenance items, be willing to do a little homework.Servicing LP related appliances and components, for instance, virtually mandates a basic understanding of the sequence of operation of that appliance.Both electrically and with the flow of the LP gas.Each appliance is different, but your advantage is that you only need to learn those that pertain to your RV.And it's not that difficult to learn.Oh, it requires reading and studying the literature that came with your rv, but for the most part, it can be enjoyable.Have the right tools - Be aware that many maintenance tasks require a selection of tools and that some require specialty tools that you may not have in your tool kit.Here are a few specialty tools you may want to eventually acquire..Manometer - this device allows you to measure the LP pressure correctly.Never adjust your LP regulator without using a manometer.Thermocouple tester - used to bench test LP appliance thermocouples.Battery hydrometer - one that is temperature compensated is more accurate.Volt, Ohm, multi-meter (VOM) - a digital one is best, but any is better than just a simple test lamp.Consider the time factor - Always plan your approach to any maintenance task appropriately.Realize that all maintenance requires time.Be sure to allot yourself plenty of time to complete whatever it is you are undertaking.Do not rush yourself.You are more likely to omit a step or make a mistake if you are under pressure to complete a task when in a hurry.Remember, the next time you perform that same task, the time element will be reduced.Familiarity and repetition will breed speed.How to "Do It Yourself".The following suggestions will get you started.Prepare a proper and clean work area - Having a clean work area for whatever the task may be is vital in order to avoid confusion and also help keep the coach clean if you must traipse in and out of it several times.When servicing the appliances for example, it is best to perform the maintenance tasks with the appliances left in the installed positions.An exception would be the RV furnace.In some instances concerning the furnace, better results are attained if the furnace is removed and the work performed on a bench.If you will be needing electricity, have your extension cord uncoiled and strategically placed prior to starting.Likewise, if using a drill motor, have the correct size drill bit, or screwdriver tip at hand.Proper preparation will make any maintenance task easier.Did you remember to allow enough time to do the work?Have all replacement parts ready to go - Have all replacement parts prepared and laid out for easy access.If your maintenance task involves threaded fittings, a handy tip is to apply the correct sealant or Teflon tape before actually starting the work.It's much neater and easier when your hands are relatively clean.Lay the fittings aside and cover them with a shop towel or cloth until needed.If the new parts need any type of pre-assembly, do it now, before you get engrossed in the task at hand.If some parts in a repair kit will not be needed, separate and discard them prior to beginning.This will simplify your repair and avoid any confusion you may encounter later when you realize you have a few parts left over.Obtain the necessary support materials - As mentioned earlier, have all wiring diagrams, service notes, installation instructions or any other type of resource open and within easy reach before starting the job.If you feel you may need additional help or support information, postpone the maintenance until all the necessary information is in your hand.Remember, preparation is much easier for a preventive maintenance procedure as opposed to an unwanted crisis repair.Also, keep in mind many maintenance tasks are now available on detailed instructional video tapes.Check out our Video Library Page.Additionally, many local community colleges now offer classes for the RVer and RV shows offer seminars on RV maintenance.Get to know a local service facility - Do Not Leave This Step Out! Even though you may want to perform some maintenance yourself, always get to know a local dealer or service center in your area.Eventually your going to have to swallow your pride and call on them for help and aside from being there to order parts for you, they can also be a good source of information.Additional tips - Never attempt to adjust your RV generator yourself.This is one area that is definitely better left to your service shop.Many specialty tools are required, as the generator needs to be load tested while making governor and carburetor adjustments.Load banks and specialty testers are beyond the scope of the do-it-yourselfer.Just remember that on the RV generator every mechanical adjustment that is made has an electrical result.You cannot tune a generator by ear.This item is for the professional.Also never attempt to adjust your LP regulator without the knowledge and use of a water column manometer.Changes in the delivery pressure, though crucial to each appliance cannot be determined by visually watching a burner flame.Too high LP pressure will damage many appliances, while too low of a delivery pressure will result in improper combustion and inefficient appliance operation.By honestly accessing your technical expertise, learning and gathering a resource library of sorts for those items on your coach, and acquiring the proper tools and parts, you may be just ready to experience the fun of maintaining your investment for your leisure over the road enjoyment.It is hoped that major repair costs are avoided and total enjoyment is realized from the experiences of working on your own motorhome.

As your lead-acid battery ages, there may be a need to recondition it in order to restore full functionality.Reconditioning is a very good way of getting your battery to work like new again.And while you can bring your battery to an automotive shop for reconditioning, it may be more practical to just do the reconditioning yourself.Following is a reconditioning battery guide to help you get started.1.Prepare the following items. - battery hydrometer - battery load tester - battery post cleaner - volt meter - Epsom salts - plastic funnel - screwdriver - safety gear (gloves and glasses).2.Clean the battery posts on both sides of the battery by using a battery post cleaner.3.Check the battery's voltage with the volt meter.If the reading is less than 12 volts, you'll have to check the individual battery cells.To do this, pry the battery caps open with a screwdriver and then hook up some lead wires onto your volt meter.Make sure that you do not hook the volt meter's leads directly to the battery cells as it can get ruined by the acid content.Place the meter's positive lead on to the battery's positive post and the meter's negative lead on to the first cell and then take a reading.Next, place the positive lead of the meter on the first cell and its negative lead on the second cell and take another reading.Continue the pattern until you get a reading on all battery cells.If ever you get a reading of less than two volts, then this means that it might be a bad cell that needs replacing.4.After checking the voltage, you'll need to run a battery load test.To do that, hook the load tester's leads to the battery and then take a reading (Be sure to hook the positive lead before the negative lead).Your load tester should register a minimum of 12 volts.Now, turn the switch of your load testeron and hold it for around ten seconds.After that, let go of the load tester's switch.When you do so, the load tester should at least register at least 9 volts.Remove the leads, this time with the negative lead coming off first.5.Next, you'll need to perform a hydrometer test.Attach the hydrometer's end to the first battery cell.To begin, squeeze the top part of the hydrometer and then let go.You should notice that the level of the fluid should stay within the green area or just below it and the item in the glass tube should float.If the fluid passes through the green area, then the battery will need recharging.On the other hand, if it does not reach the green area, the battery is still in good condition.Repeat the process on each of the battery's cells.6.Finally, you are ready to add the Epsom salts to the battery.Take the plastic funnel and place it over one of the battery cells.Pour a tablespoon of Epsom salts into each of the cells and then charge the battery for about 24 hours.Follow this reconditioning battery guide and practice the reconditioning process on an old battery.Once you've mastered the process, you can get to work on the battery that you are currently using and may even do reconditioning as a side business.
