Must-Have RV Spare Parts

It's wise to keep some spare parts stored inside your RV. If a situation happens during a vacation, you'll already have the needed supplies in order to make the repair. We recommend stocking up on the below RV parts.

If you need help locating or installing RV parts, the experts at Pete's RV PA are here for you. Reach out or stop by our dealership in Mountville, Pennsylvania. We also proudly serve those in Hershey, Philadelphia, and York, Pennsylvania.

RV Parts for the Water Pump

A water pump valve can end up malfunctioning, especially if any debris gets into the camper's water system. By bringing water pump parts along, you'll be equipped to make any repairs. For example, consider bringing impeller parts or an overhaul kit.

Thermocouples

Pack extra thermocouples, which will allow you to replace a broken thermocouple. This will help keep your water heater functional. Hot water is appreciated any time of the year, but especially in the winter!

Fuses

A fuse can blow at any point, including the middle of a vacation. Stock up on fuses that are compatible with your RV's electrical system so that you'll be ready to replace any broken ones quickly.

Lightbulbs

Sure, a light bulb may not be the most essential RV part. But it's a simple one to bring along. Spare light bulbs don't take up much space, after all. In the event that a bulb burns out, you won't be resigned to reduced lighting. Instead, you'll be able to quickly swap the bulb out and keep your camper well-lit.

Keep in mind that fluorescent bulbs are more fragile. They are more likely to break during the drive, which makes them less than ideal for an RV road trip. If you want to use fluorescent bulbs, be sure to pack them carefully so that they are protected during the drive. Or, as an alternative, you can use incandescent light bulbs instead.

LP Gas Regulator

Your RV's gas system likely uses an LP gas regulator. This RV part works to control the flow of propane to the various appliances from the gas tank. This is helpful for many different tasks, such as keeping food in the refrigerator cold.

When there's an issue with the gas regulator, it can cause either too much or too little gas pressure. This is often shown by a difference in flame height at the gas range. If you have a spare regulator, you can quickly replace it and get the camper gas system back to optimal performance.
