To keep hardwood doors, cabinet fronts and hardwood tables looking like new regularly
dust with a soft cloth dampened with a cleaning polish or mild detergent solution. Avoid
using ammonia based products or silicone oils as they may cause damage if used over a long
period of time.
The finish is durable and resistant to most household spills. However, spills should be wiped
up promptly to avoid potential problems. Excessive prolonged exposure to direct sunlight,
high temperatures and high humidity can cause damage to both the finish and the wood
itself. These should be avoided.

Depending on the kitchen layout of your recreation vehicle, you may have a pantry or hutch
that you can use to store items you wish to take with you as you travel and camp. Make sure
all items stored in the pantry or hutch are secured so they do not shift during travel. This
cabinetry has been designed to accommodate the normal camping items (i.e., paper plates,
flatware, cookware, etc.) which are bulky but not necessarily heavy. Remember your
recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designed by weight, not volume, so you cannot
necessarily use all available space.
If your pantry or hutch has sliding pantry shelves, they have been equipped with a locking
mechanism to keep them in place during transit. To secure the shelf in place, push it all of
the way in until the latch tab clicks into place. Always pull out slightly on the shelf to make
sure that it is stationary and secure in the transit position. To release the shelf, push in on the
tab and pull the shelf slowly towards you.
Your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by
volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading the
vehicle. Do not exceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the vehicle
as evenly as you can for the best possible handling. Ensure heavy items are
secured so they do not shift during travel.
