The exterior of your motorhome is very
durable and easy to clean owing to its high
gloss properties. To maintain a showroom
finish the motorhome and the parts need to
be washed using motorhome cleaning solution
(bespoke Bailey cleaning products are available
at www.bailey-parts.co.uk). Avoid using strong
alkaline (e.g. tri-sodium phosphate) or acidic
cleaners or abrasives. Waxing the components
once or twice a year with a good grade paste
wax will help to maintain the colour and finish.
To avoid scratching, wash your motorhome by
hand using a sponge with plenty of cleaning
solution. Always rinse away any cleaner.
Dry the vehicle with a chamois or a microfibre
cloth.
It is imperative to ensure that the area
surrounding the rooflight is completely dried;
this will avoid both condensation and damp
collecting around the perimeter.
Do not use a mechanical brush
washing system such as a car wash.
Never pressure wash your vehicle.
This may cause unwanted damage.
Do not use solvents or acrylic
cleaners. They may cause a chemical
reaction with the material of your
motorhome.
Under no circumstances should you use any
abrasive agents, methylated spirit, white
spirit or other solvents to the exterior of your
motorhome.
No touch up painting should be carried out
prior to consulting with a Bailey Service Centre
for approved methods.
All items stored in the gas bottle storage locker
must be secured to prevent impact damage to
the inside of the body panel when the vehicle
is in motion.
Do not allow any chemicals, toilet or otherwise,
to spill or leak into the gas box floor. Before
placing items in the cradle ensure that the tray
is clean and free from any debris. Cleaning
should only be carried out with warm soapy
water.
The use of high-pressure water jets to clean
your motorhome will invalidate your warranty.

The windows fitted to your motorhome are
manufactured from high quality acrylic using
the latest plastic processing methods.
For cleaning, use only generous amounts of
water to wash away dust and road grit etc.
Then use a soft cloth and warm soapy water
and gently remove the remaining dirt. Avoid
abrasive cleaning materials and detergents.
As with all plastic materials, acrylic should not
be allowed to come into contact with chemicals
such as paint remover, fly spray, acetone, dish
washer detergent or car cleaning detergent.
Never polish with a dry cloth.
During high sun do not close the window blinds
completely and open the windows into the
ventilation position.
While the vehicle is in motion please ensure
that the windows are fully closed (this
information is also detailed on stickers on the
windows).

The stainless steel sink will need little
maintenance other than cleaning immediately
after use. Most deposits can be removed
by washing with soap or mild detergent and
hot water, followed by a clean water rinse
and drying with a soft cloth to prevent water
spotting.
For more tenacious deposits a non-abrasive
multi-purpose cream cleaner should be used,
followed by a rinse with clean water.
Tannin stains can be removed by a solution
of washing soda and water applied with a soft
