Pre-Trip Inspection - Leisure Serenity Owner's Manual

Vehicle Operation

Pre-Trip Inspection

1. Ensure the Motorhome and all of its components, devices, systems and subsystems are serviced and ready for
travel.
2. Inspect wheel lugs for tightness. Examine tires for road damage and wear. Ensure that all tires are inflated to proper
pressure.
3. Check All Fluids:
● Engine / Crankcase Oil
● Power Steering Fluid
● Radiator Recovery System
● Reservoir Level
● Battery Electrolyte Level
● Windshield Washer Reservoir
● Transmission Fluid
4. Check oil level in generator power plant (if installed). Refer to generator instruction and maintenance manual located
in the information kit for details on pre-use requirements.
5. Consult the chassis manual for a recommended list of pre-trip checks.
6. Verify that all lights are in working order.
7. Check the engine compartment for wildlife. Wildlife and pets like the warmth of the engine compartment and can
become entangled in the moving engine components.
8. Sanitize and fill the fresh water tank if required. Turn off the water pump, unless water is needed. The water pump
should also be turned off when leaving the unit for any length of time. (See "System Monitor" in "Electrical System"
section for details.)
9. Start the refrigerator a day ahead of time so it will be cold for your trip.
10. Fill the LP gas tank to a max of 80% capacity. Be careful not to overfill the LP gas tank. An overfilled LP gas tank will
cause the gas regulator to fail, and may result in problems with LP gas components. Turn off the LP gas valve control
located in the utility center. Make sure all LP gas controls are turned off (furnace, stove top, refrigerator). Check for LP
gas leaks regularly using soapy water.
All appliances must be turned off during refuelling of any Motorhome fuel tanks, propane or LP gas tanks. Do not
smoke when refuelling.
11. Check that sewer connections are properly stored and all external compartments and filler openings are closed and/
or locked.
12. Check the roof vent to ensure it closes and opens.
13. Be sure all doors are closed, latched, travel locks in place, and all loose objects secured including cabinet and
refrigerator contents.
14. Deodorize the waste holding tank. (See details in "Black Water - Waste Holding Tank" in "Water / Plumbing"
Section).
15. Check that all blocks and chocks are removed and/or stowed.
16. Check that there are no obstructions in the Motorhome pathway before moving. Be sure there is proper clearance
between adjacent and overhead objects to prevent contact.
17. Disconnect and stow the shoreline power cord. (See details in this section).
18. Lock exterior compartment doors.
19. Check that the fire extinguisher is in good condition and fully charged. (See details in Safety section).
