Keeping Timely: Fulltimer's Maintenance Checklist

Life is pretty busy, even for fulltiming RVers. Actually, maybe it's "mow busy" for us fulltimers. It seems like if we have a spare moment, something comes up that eats at that spare moment, to the point we find ourselves coming and going.

But if we slip up and forget something important, we all know what happens. Any of those spare moments we were looking forward to spending on ourselves wind up being spent on something else--like changing out a hot water heater that went gunny bag because we failed to spend a few minutes when we should checking on its welfare.

Enter "Firedude," a fulltime RVer with a heart. Firedude has put together a nifty maintenance checklist in "Word" format. You can download the list, print it out, and hang it up with your calendar as a reminder (with a suggested timeline) that will help you remember to check on the anode rod in the water heater, the batteries, and those other important items that get swept to the backs of our minds by all those other pressing issues. Follow this link to your own copy. It might help you to keep from having a Homer Simpson day.
