Why You Want OEM Parts For Your RV

RVs require a lot of maintenance and care to keep them in top condition. However, the types of parts and components you use to care for your RV can also affect its performance and service life. To discover why we recommend sticking with OEM parts for your RV’s maintenance and repairs, check out our article below. 

Compatibility 

Unlike after-market parts—which are designed to fit a wide array of RV makes and models—OEM components are produced for your specific RV model. As a result, these parts are 100% compatible with your RV, ensuring that your rig performs at its absolute best with no unseen hiccups or malfunctions. Because these parts will fit into your RV’s other equipment perfectly, OEM components are also less likely to wear down or break as quickly as aftermarket parts.

Quality

OEM parts are produced by the same manufacturer that created your RV and are often made with higher-quality materials and manufacturing processes than aftermarket parts. Because of their superior manufacturing, OEM RV parts are known to last lifetimes longer than aftermarket components. However, if your part does happen to break or malfunction, a new part may be covered by your previous component’s manufacturer warranty.
