CARE OF YOUR CARAVAN

This section of the guide is devoted to the
care, cleaning and general preservation of
your caravan in order to retain its showroom
condition.

EXTERIOR CLEANING

Under no circumstances should an abrasive
or harsh cleaner be used. It is strongly
recommended that you do not use a pressure
wash. Exterior body parts of the caravan are
extremely durable and easy to clean. It is
recommended you first wash off any heavy
dirt and mud with cold water then use a high
quality car wash and wax then rinse with
plenty of cold water.

CAUTION:

The use of a pressure wash on

your caravan is not recommended as it can
lead to water entering the caravan via any of
the external vents and could damage
graphics.

ACRYLIC WINDOWS

Your caravan is fitted with shatter resistant
acrylic windows. To preserve their clarity and
unblemished transparency it is essential that
the following cleaning instructions are strictly
adhered to: Road grit, dust, sand, flies, lime
tree secretions, bird droppings etc., should
be washed off using plenty of cold water do
not use a sponge to clean off heavy dirt
deposits. Any remaining dirt should be
washed off using a soft cloth and warm
water.

Please note:

Under NO circumstances

should any abrasive cleaning agents,
household detergents or proprietary cleaning
fluids be used. Wash the window again using
only cold water and dry off with chamois
leather.

Please note:

Should scratches appear on

the acrylic windows these can often be
removed with an acrylic polish, i.e. ICI
Perspex polish. Gentle polishing with a liquid
metal polish, i.e. Brasso may also have the
desired effect - consult your retailer BEFORE
attempting to remove any but the slightest
scratch.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SEITZ
WINDOWS

Use soap suds and plenty of water or Seitz
special cleaning agents to wash the acrylic
window. Use talcum powder to care for the
rubber seals. Only use water and mild soap
suds to clean the blinds.

Please note:

Do not keep the blinds closed

for long periods of time, as this can result in
material fatigue.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SEITZ
ROOFLIGHTS

Clean the acrylic rooflight with soap suds and
plenty of water, or use the Seitz special
cleaner. Use talcum to care for the rubber
seals.

Only use water and mild soap suds to clean
the blinds.

Please note:

The 12-month guarantee

becomes null and void if these instructions
are not followed.

WINDOW BLINDS & FLYSCREENS

To clean the blinds and flyscreens, moisten a
soft cloth or sponge with a small amount of
water and mild soap suds and gently wipe
dirt off. Allow to dry before retracting, failure
to due this could result in mildew forming.

Pleated blinds where fitted should be cleaned
using a soft brush and if necessary hoovered
using a soft brush attachment on the device.

Winterisation/Storage

Please note:

The blind/flyscreen should not

be left in the down position when the caravan
is not in use or throughout the winter as the
memory of the mechanism may be lost.

INTERIOR WALLS

Your caravan interior walls will only require a
wipe over with a damp cloth, using a mild
detergent, to keep them in a ‘showroom’
condition.

FURNITURE

Treat your caravan furniture as you would the
furniture in your home. Polish wood surfaces
sparingly with a good quality wax or spray
polish. Use a damp cloth to clean melanate
laminated surfaces.
