Read on to learn more and stop by Broadmoor RV today. We have showrooms in Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland, Washington, and our friendly staff serves all of Seattle and Spokane.

AC Generator Filter and Extra Oil

AC generator filters are an affordable and handy solution if you can't find an RV repair shop and need an oil change. You'll also want to consider carrying an additional quart of motor oil and transmission oil to ensure your RV runs smoothly.

Water Pressure and Regulator Parts

If debris gets into one of the pump valves, it's a good idea to invest in an overhaul water pump kit. Before replacing the pump valves, make sure first to check the fuses to see if it's an electrical issue. Another good investment is an LP-gas regulator, especially if you're camping. LP-gas regulators control your gas pressure, affecting things like your refrigerator and ability to take hot showers.

Electrodes and Thermocouples

If you plan on going somewhere cold, don't forget to pack thermocouples and electrodes. While electrodes are limited by the specific appliance they work on, universal thermocouples can fit furnaces and water heaters.

12-Volt-DC Lightbulbs and Fuses

Consider carrying three spare incandescent lights. Fluorescent lights are more fragile, so you might want to reconsider stocking them until you visit your parts supplier. Fuses are great for testing short circuits and should always be well-stocked. Try and keep as wide an assortment of bulbs and fuses for your RV as possible.

Finding Spares and Other Handy RV Parts

The best place to check for spare parts is your local RV dealer or doing an internet search. If your RV is still under warranty, try and find a dealership that deals with your brand. Many independent RV repair shops can handle non-warranty problems. Perform regular maintenance and consider taking along the following items to reduce a roadside breakdown.

  • Water Heater, Furnace and Refrigerator Guide (Can Download).
  • Manufacturer's Parts List (Can Download).
  • Sewer Drain Caps.
  • Nylon Cable Ties.
  • Duct Tape
  • Tool-Set.
