As the chill of winter fades away and the warmth of spring begins to emerge, it's the perfect time to give your Lang restroom trailers the attention they deserve. Proper maintenance before your first rental of the season ensures that your facilities are ready to provide comfort and convenience to users throughout the upcoming months. From cleaning and sanitization to structural inspections, here are some essential maintenance tips for the spring season.

Exterior Maintenance

Start with thoroughly inspecting the trailer exterior. Check for any signs of wear and tear on the panels, roof, and seals. Look out for leaks or damage that may have occurred during the winter months. It's essential to conduct a thorough inspection of your trailer for any potential leaks.

Begin by examining the trailer exterior in general, paying close attention to areas prone to leaks, such as the roof for any signs of water infiltration, as leaks from above can lead to costly damage if left unchecked. Ensure that the caulking seal on the roof is still intact and in good condition, as this serves as a barrier against moisture penetration. Inspect and replace worn or deteriorated sealants and caulking to prevent leaks. Ensure that all seams and joints are properly sealed to maintain the trailer's integrity. Finally, inspect the door seals to confirm there are no issues that could compromise the interior's protection from the elements. By addressing these key areas, you can safeguard your trailer against leaks.

Inspect the tires, wheels, and hitch to ensure they're in good condition for transport and use. It's crucial to perform a comprehensive inspection of your trailer tires. Start by checking the tire pressure to ensure they are properly inflated, which promotes optimal performance and safety. Additionally, assess the tires in general for any signs of wear, such as tread depth and sidewall integrity. For Lang Pro Series Trailer owners, don't overlook the importance of greasing or lubricating the slide-out stairs. This key maintenance step helps ensure smooth operation and extends the lifespan of the steps, enhancing their overall functionality.

It’s important to pay special attention to battery maintenance on your Pro Series Lang Trailer. Start by ensuring the deep-cycle marine battery is fully charged. Be sure to also check the electronic brake battery to guarantee it's in optimal condition. The brake battery charge level is indicated by using the red, yellow, and green light tester on the battery. Additionally, don't overlook the importance of inspecting both interior and exterior lights. Confirming their functionality ensures visibility and safety.

Interior Maintenance

Once you've assessed the trailer exterior, it's time to turn your attention to the interior of the trailer. Test plumbing fixtures for leaks or signs of corrosion. Check for leaks in pipes, fittings, and connections, and repair any issues promptly to prevent water damage. Make sure that toilet flanges haven't cracked during cold weather. Fill the fresh water tank and run the water pump to ensure your system is working properly.

Test all electrical circuits to ensure they're functioning properly and check lighting fixtures and electrical outlets for functionality. Replace any faulty switches or outlets as needed. Inspect wiring for signs of damage or wear, and make sure it's properly insulated and secured to prevent safety hazards. Don't forget to inspect ventilation systems to ensure proper airflow and circulation.

Deep cleaning of the interior of your trailer is crucial to maintaining a hygienic environment in your restroom trailers. Evaluate the cleanliness of all surfaces and address any odors. Use appropriate cleaning agents to thoroughly clean all surfaces, paying special attention to high-touch areas like door handles and faucets. Disinfect surfaces to eliminate germs and bacteria, especially in light of ongoing health concerns.
