Attaching Accessories to
Your Motor Home
The sidewalls of your motor home are built with
a polymer panel.
Structural members are located specifically to
mount and attach factory-installed components
and accessories, and may not be located to
accommodate after-market accessories not
specifically designed for use on or in your motor
home.
Exterior: Please consult with your dealer before
attempting to install or mount accessories on the
sidewalls or roof of your motor home. Holes
drilled in the sidewall may cause damage,
and may affect portions of your warranty.
Interior: If you want to attach items to the
interior walls, YOU MUST USE RIVETS. The
rivets can be installed with a hand-operated tool
such as the Arrow E-Z Pull Model RH200. This
and similar tools are available in most hardware
stores and home improvement centers
When you install a component, carefully mark
the hole location and drill a 3/16” hole where
the rivet is to be located.
If you need rivets, contact your American Coach
Dealer.
Plastic/Fiberglass/Tile Shower Stall
Some cleaners attack the plastic, fiberglass or
tile causing it to discolor and become brittle.
The following cleaners have been tested and
approved when mixed with water:
• Distilled vinegar
• Mild dishwasher detergent
• Liquid deodorizing cleaner.
Avoid cleaners that contain any amount of
abrasives, acetone, ammonia or MEK (methyl
ethyl ketone).
Floors and Carpeting
Vinyl flooring requires only washing and periodic
waxing. Vacuum carpeting regularly, and clean it
with a quality carpet cleaner. Do not use water or
waxes mixed with water on the wood floor.
Tile Floor
(If Equipped)
These recommendations have been included
as recommendations only - consult a tile
installation professional in the event additional
information is needed on the process is not
applicable. Cementitious grout, as you may
have observed, is porous - it can absorb a stain.
Looked at under a microscope, there is a large
surface area to absorb stains. For this reason,
many owners choose to seal their grout...usually
the better the sealer, the more the grout joint is
protected. Even better, if epoxy grout is used, it
is virtually as stain proof as the tile.
Removing stains from cementitious grout is
similar to removing stains from clothing. The
same cleaners you might use on clothes to get
out a stain should also work on grout.
Keep in mind though, that grout is based
primarily of cement and sand. Sand, like glass,
is unaffected chemically by most cleaners.
Cement is not; rather it is alkaline based and is
dissolved by acids. As baking soda and vinegar
react, so do grout and vinegar.
Accordingly, it is better to clean grout with an
alkaline cleaner (Spec and Span, Mr. Clean,
etc.) than an acid based cleaner. There are also
specialty cleaners available at most tile retailers
that are designed for tile and grout. There are
also cleaners with enzymes that attack stains
similar to enzyme pre-soaks for laundry.
The same cleaner that works on the grout
generally will work well on the tile. In fact,
since the tile is usually so easy to clean, the tile
can often be cleaned with water.

Maintenance
CAUTION
Do not use any type of screw to attach items to
the interior or exterior walls of your motor home. If
you want to attach items to the walls, you must use
expanding head type rivets. Rivet quality, length, and
grip range, will vary depending on item to be attached.
