and salt used on highways can cause the metal
components to corrode.
To protect your RV from this corrosion, it must
be thoroughly cleaned as soon as possible after
exposure to these elements. Washing the
undercarriage with a high-pressure washer will
remove the majority of the salt. This will not
replace the paint that is literally sandblasted off
the undercarriage by the road salt and sand.
Regularly scheduled inspections and
maintenance is necessary to protect your RV
and its various components and fixtures from
the elements and keep it corrosion free.
In addition to maintenance, you should keep
from storing your vehicle in grassy areas for
long periods of time. The stagnant, moist air
developed under the coach will speed up the
corrosion process. Always store your vehicle on
pebble, concrete or asphalt.
AWNINGS
Proper use, care and maintenance procedures
for awnings are included in the literature
provided with the awning.
Before you open your awning, make sure that
you have sufficient clearance from obstructions.
AWNING CARE
Be sure to clean off all debris as you roll up your
awnings. Periodically wash off the awning
fabric with soapy water solution. Long term
exposure to the sun may cause some fading
over time, which is normal.
