5.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE
5.1.1 Exterior
The exterior of your caravan is very durable and easy to clean owing to its high gloss properties. To
maintain a showroom finish one needs only to wash the caravan regularly with a car shampoo, rinse with
cold water and chamois leather off. Do not forget to clean the roof. A good quality non metallic and non-
coloured car wax that does not contain white spirit may be applied, which will make washing easier.
▲
Under no circumstances use any abrasive agents, methylated spirit, white spirit, other
solvents or washing up liquid to the exterior of your caravan.
▲
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 front body panel when the caravan is being towed.
▲
Do not allow any chemicals, toilet or otherwise, to spill or leak onto 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 caravan will invalidate your warranty.
5.1.2 Acrylic Windows
The windows fitted to your Bailey caravan 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 and 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 caravan is in motion please ensure that the windows are fully closed (this
information is also detailed on the stickers in the windows).
▲ Dependant on the temperature inside the caravan to that outside, condensation may be
experienced between the window panes. This is a perfectly normal occurrence as the
windows are not sealed units. To disperse condensation remove the small bungs, using a
pair of blunt end tweezers, in the corners of the window unit (prefereably on a warm day)
until the condensation disperses and then replace the bungs.
