Exterior Care
Sealants
Sealants perform a very important function and should be inspected
closely and regularly maintained. We incorporate many different
types of sealants, including butyl/putty, black butyl-encapsulated
foam, silicone (clear and colored), roof sealant and foam. In gen-
eral, sealants do not have a "set" lifetime. Varying environmental
factors affect the pliability and adhesiveness of sealants.
Sealants may become damaged due to exposure to the elements,
freezing temperatures, ultraviolet, and air pollution. If deteriorated,
repair immediately to prevent damage. A quick walk around the
RV before leaving may help prevent potential problems during
trips and vacations. Your dealer service or parts manager can
help you obtain the correct sealant(s).
You or your dealer MUST:
• Inspect all sealants, every three (3) months. Make sure
to check the roof and all four sides of the RV including all
moldings, doors, vents and exterior attachments.
• Replace the sealant if you notice any cracks, peeling,
voids, gaps, breaks, looseness or any sign of physical
deterioration.
• Reseal at least one time each year as preventative
maintenance. Always use the same type of sealant
that was removed.
If you notice water inside the RV, immediately have the
dealer check for the source of the leak. Failure to correct
the leak may result in serious damage to your RV; this
damage may not be warrantable.
If you have questions and/or need assistance with sealing your
RV, consult with your RV dealer.
Roof Ladder Ready
(If So Equipped)
Your RV may be equipped with an optional roof ladder. The RV
roof has decking under the rubber roof membrane to allow you
to walk on the roof (with caution) to do maintenance.
If your RV is equipped with
a roof ladder:
• DO NOT exceed the
weight limit of 300 lbs.
• DO NOT leave items
attached to ladder
while traveling.
