Exterior
1010 Non-Sag Sealant over top of any existing sealant need-
ing resealed. Please note ONLY ALPHA SUPPLIED SEAL-
ANTS SHOULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE SUPER-

While you are cleaning the exterior roof, also inspect the roof
vents (including sealants) for cracks and keep them clean.
Inspect the refrigerator and holding tank vents for blockages
from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc.
Water heater, furnace and refrigerator exterior doors need to
be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect nests, mud
daubers, etc.) while the appliances (if so equipped) are in
use.
WINDOWS
Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially
during heavy rainstorms. Condensation will also cause wa-
ter to accumulate on windows and in the tracks. The window
“glass” can cleaned normally with a sponge and water. Use
glass cleaner to remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc.
After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a clean, soft cloth.
TRAILER FRAME
Sand, pebbles, objects on the highway, climate (salt air ex-
posure) or ice inhibiting chemicals used during the winter
months will damage the paint, inviting rust and other deterio-
ration. Periodically inspect the exterior exposed areas, clean
and repaint the frame members occasionally and whenever
you notice rust or paint chipped away, to insure protection.
ROOF LADDER READY
Your RV may be equipped backer to support the installation of
a (customer supplied) ladder. The RV roof has decking under
the rubber roof membrane to allow you to walk on the roof
(with caution) to do maintenance.
SEALANT
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
