At Stoneham Trails RV Park, we understand that RVing isn’t just a hobby—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re exploring Texas year-round or stopping in for a weekend escape, your RV is your home on wheels. That’s why proper maintenance is crucial—not just for performance and longevity, but for your peace of mind on the road.
As a locally owned and operated RV park in the heart of Grimes County, we want to make your stay with us comfortable, stress-free, and enjoyable. In this guide, we’ll walk through essential RV maintenance tips and explain why choosing Stoneham Trails RV Park is a smart decision for every RVer.
Regular RV Maintenance: Keep Rolling Smoothly
Keeping your RV in top shape doesn’t have to be complicated. A little routine care goes a long way in ensuring smooth travels, fewer surprises, and extended life for your investment.
1. Inspect and Maintain Your Tires
Tire blowouts are among the most common RV issues, and they can be dangerous and costly. To avoid this:
-
Check your tire pressure before every trip.
-
Inspect for visible wear, cracks, or bald spots.
-
Rotate tires as recommended by your RV’s manufacturer.
-
Don’t forget the spare!
Texas roads can get hot, and tires take the brunt of that heat. Regular checks ensure safety and performance, especially on longer drives to destinations like the scenic area attractions near our park.
2. Check Your Roof and Seals
RV roofs are exposed to the elements and can develop leaks over time if not cared for properly. Every few months, inspect your roof and the seals around windows, vents, and doors.
-
Look for cracks, lifting edges, or signs of water damage.
-
Reseal using appropriate products when needed.
-
Clean the roof to remove debris and buildup that can trap moisture.
Spending a few relaxing days at Stoneham Trails gives you the perfect opportunity to do this kind of maintenance in peace.
3. Maintain Your Battery
Whether you’re plugged into our full hook-ups or boondocking elsewhere, your RV’s battery is essential for lights, appliances, and HVAC systems.
-
Test your battery monthly.
-
Keep terminals clean and connections tight.
-
Top off water levels if you use lead-acid batteries.
-
Recharge fully after use.
A well-maintained battery ensures comfort during your stay at parks like ours, where you can enjoy quiet evenings and starry skies.
4. Keep Tanks Clean and Monitored
Your RV has fresh water, gray water, and black water tanks—all of which require care.
-
Use enzyme treatments in the black tank.
-
Flush tanks regularly (we recommend at least once a week if in use).
-
Never let tanks overfill—this can lead to backups or sensor damage.
Our park offers large, spacious sites with easy hookups so you can dump and refill tanks efficiently without hassle.
5. HVAC System Upkeep
Texas weather can go from chilly to scorching fast. Keeping your heating and cooling systems maintained ensures you’re always comfortable.
-
Clean or replace air filters monthly.
-
Test the thermostat before you travel.
-
Inspect vents and ensure airflow isn’t blocked by furniture or debris.
-
Listen for unusual sounds that may indicate worn belts or components.
When you stay with us, you’ll appreciate having your HVAC system in good shape—especially after a day enjoying nearby attractions.

Seasonal Tips for RV Maintenance in Texas
Texas weather shifts with the seasons, and so should your RV maintenance routine. Here are a few seasonal reminders tailored for travelers staying at our park.
Spring & Summer: Prepare for Heat
-
Inspect your A/C unit before high temperatures arrive.

-
Park in shaded areas (we have plenty!) to reduce strain on your cooling system.
Fall: Watch for Debris and Pests
-
Clean your roof and awnings from falling leaves and debris.

Seal any gaps or openings—critters love to sneak in as the weather cools.

Test your furnace before temperatures dip.
Winter: Protect Your Pipes

If you plan to RV through Texas winters, insulate exposed pipes and hoses.

Use heated water hoses.
