Repair kits are available through your dealer.
The roof requires special adhesives and mate-
rial. Do not use silicone sealants.
Sealant Renewal
This section outlines the procedures you must
follow to maintain the weatherproof integrity of
your motor home. Leak damage caused by fail-
ure to inspect and maintain the roof, vents, TV/
satellite antenna and molding seals may affect
your warranty coverage.
The adhesives and sealants used in the construc-
tion of your motor home were developed to
remain waterproof under sustained effects of
weather and vibration. However, even the finest
materials will eventually dry out and lose their
effectiveness .
Your dealer can perform the resealing inspec-
tion and work for you. Your dealer also has cur-
rent information on sealants used in your motor
home, and can recommend the appropriate seal-
ants for you if you prefer to do this work your-
self. Always use the recommended sealants.
EXTERIOR SEALANTS
Consult your Fleetwood Motor Home dealer for
the most current sealant used in these areas:
• Windshield • Window sealant
• Roof A/C Gasket • Vents
• Skylights • Exterior Trim & Lights
Door, Window, Roof Component
and Molding Resealing
Inspect the sealants around windows, floors,
joints and doors at least every three months.
Also inspect roof vents, other roof components,
moldings at front and rear caps, and perimeter
molding. If any of the following defects are
evident during inspection, the affected areas
must be resealed.
• Sealant cracked or peeling.
• Void or missing sealant.
If you find any of the above defects:
1. Clean all areas to be resealed with an
appropriate cleaner and clean rags.
2. Make sure that all areas to be resealed are
absolutely dry before new sealant is applied.

INTERIOR
Fabrics
Interior soft trims such as draperies, bedspreads,
mattress covers, upholstery and wall pads are
manufactured from high quality materials and
should be dry cleaned only. Frequent vacuuming
will keep them free of dust and dirt. Minor spills
should be cleaned up quickly to avoid staining.
The affected area should be blotted, not rubbed,
to prevent the stain from working deeper into
the fabric.
Solid Surface Top Care
(If Equipped)
The counter top is constructed of a solid surface
material that requires little care. Routine care
involves wiping the surface with a damp cloth to
remove water marks. For stains, wipe with soapy

WARNING
Do not use lacquer thinner, nail polish remover, car-

damage to the material being cleaned, and may be
highly flammable or poisonous .
