Owning a camper van is more than just a purchase—it's a gateway to a life of boundless adventure. To keep your TOURIG van running strong and ready for every journey, regular maintenance is key. Sticking to a well-planned maintenance schedule not only prevents costly repairs but also ensures your rig remains reliable and adventure-ready for years to come. Here’s a tailored checklist of essential maintenance tasks and their recommended service intervals to help you get the most out of your van life experience.
Oil Changes
Interval: Every 5,000 to 7,500 miles
Why: Clean oil is vital for reducing friction and preventing engine wear. Sticking to this interval helps maintain optimal engine performance and longevity.
Tire Rotations
Interval: Every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
Why: Regular tire rotations promote even tread wear, improving handling, safety, and extending the life of your tires. This is especially important for heavy camper vans.
Brake Inspections
Interval: Every 10,000 to 15,000 miles
Why: Regular brake checks ensure your safety by identifying wear on brake pads and rotors before they lead to more serious issues.
Wheel Alignments
Interval: Annually or every 12,000 miles
Why: Proper alignment prevents uneven tire wear and enhances driving stability. Misalignment can lead to poor handling and decreased fuel efficiency.
Transmission Fluid Checks
Interval: Every 30,000 to 60,000 miles
Why: Transmission fluid lubricates the transmission system, preventing wear and ensuring smooth gear shifts. Regular checks help avoid costly transmission repairs.
Coolant System Maintenance
Interval: Every 30,000 miles
Why: The coolant system prevents your engine from overheating. Flushing and replacing coolant regularly ensures your engine runs at the correct temperature.
Battery Checks
Interval: Every 6 months
Why: Regular battery inspections prevent unexpected breakdowns by ensuring your battery holds a charge and operates efficiently.
Air Filter Replacement
Interval: Every 15,000 to 30,000 miles
Why: A clean air filter ensures your engine gets the right amount of air, improving fuel efficiency and performance.
Suspension Inspections
Interval: Every 50,000 miles
Why: Inspecting your suspension helps maintain a smooth ride and prevents premature wear on other components.
Comprehensive Van Inspection
Interval: Annually
