Agile’s Fall Maintenance Checklist

Date

As the colors of fall begin to emerge, it's the perfect time to prepare your Sprinter van for the season's unique challenges. Cooler temperatures, shorter days, and the potential for wet and muddy conditions mean it's crucial to ensure your vehicle is ready for both routine travel and off-road adventures.

To help you get your van in top shape, we’ve put together a fall maintenance checklist. By addressing key areas and utilizing the right Agile products, you can ensure your Sprinter remains reliable, safe, and comfortable throughout the season. 

Tires & Wheels

Fall brings cooler temperatures and potentially slick conditions, it’s essential to ensure your tires are in top shape. Upgrade to the Overlander XT Wheels from Agile Offroad. These heavy-duty wheels are designed to endure the rigors of off-road driving, and they come equipped with a dual valve system that facilitates easy maintenance and tire pressure manipulation. 

Additionally, for maintaining proper tire pressure and ensuring your wheels are always in optimal condition, consider the ARB Air Compressor products available from Agile Offroad. The ARB On-Board Air Compressor Kit offers a compact and convenient solution for on-the-go adjustments. Regularly check and adjust tire pressure, as it can fluctuate with the changing fall temperatures and road conditions. 

Battery

As temperatures fall, battery performance can decline, which is why a reliable battery system is crucial. The Roam Rig Battery Systems from Agile Offroad provide easy solutions for monitoring and managing your battery power. These systems offer advanced features for maintaining battery health, ensuring that your electrical system performs optimally even in colder weather. Regularly check the charge and overall condition of your battery to avoid any unexpected issues on your fall adventures.

Heating

Ensuring your heating system is in good working order is essential for maintaining comfort during your travels. Start by testing your van’s heater to confirm it’s functioning correctly and efficiently. Look for any issues such as inconsistent heating or strange noises that could indicate a problem. Additionally, inspect the heating system’s components and ensure that the vents are unobstructed and clean.

Suspension & Undercarriage

Fall can bring a mix of off-road adventures and changing road conditions, making it crucial to ensure your suspension and undercarriage are in top shape. To enhance your vehicle’s off-road capability and protection, consider upgrading with the Agile Offroad Rip Kit and Agile Skid Plates.

Ensuring these parts are in good condition will help you maintain a smooth and safe driving experience as you tackle fall’s varied driving conditions.
