The road is calling — but is your rig ready? Before you hitch up and head out this spring, Jennifer and Tasha walk you through the essential checks that could save you from a costly surprise on your first trip of the season.

From a sniff test when you open the door, to tire age, propane safety, and the one check you can't skip, this is your de-winterizing starting point. Don’t skip this listen!

Learn How:

• Your nose can be your best tool

• A walk-around can catch some hidden secrets

• Slide-out and awning checks matter more than you think

• Signs of water damage hide in plain sight and inside your walls

• To ensure you don’t miss anything before your first trip — like important safety systems

• Propane facts can genuinely surprise you

• Tire age outweighs tread

• Battery care matters for a smooth spring startup

• Tasha and Matt are doing their own kind of special spring inspection
