Spring time is a great time to open up those windows and air out your camper from a long winter, even if you camped during early winter. Don't be lazy....this only requires a couple hours out of your afternoon.
Get out there, open any slide outs and windows, make sure everything is working. It's a good idea to run the fridge, TV, radio, microwave, etc. The last thing you want to do is head out for a trip 4 hours away and when you arrive you find you have no radio for the week, or TV for the kids.
Open up the cabinets and make sure everything is still stocked and organized, take inventory and compile a shopping list. This will save time later and cause less stress when packing for a trip. Check things like clocks, and flashlights for batteries. Its the little things we tend to forget. Another good thing to look for is towels and sheets....make sure they made there way back into the camper after you took them in and washed them last season.
You want to make sure you wash your camper as well. Wash it just like a car. I recommend getting a long handling scrub/mop brush. You can find these in any automotive section in most stores. Another great thing to do would be to wax your camper.....if it is fiberglass that is. If you have aluminum sides, then waxing isn't necessary. Waxing your camper helps the fiberglass not get dried out from the sun and start to chip away. You need to wax at least once a season.
