2012 Trip
In the event a blemish or small cut occurs
in the vinyl, contact a professional upholstery
repair service.
Clean the plastic or Plexiglas
®
instrument
panels using a cloth dampened in a mild soap
and water solution. Dry using a separate cotton
cloth. Plastic polish products that will help to
brighten the appearance of plastic or Plexiglas
instrument panels are
Novus Plastic Care
®
, a
three-part system;
Meguires
®
and
Johnson Paste
Wax
®
, which will require extensive buffing and
rubbing.
Glass lens gauges can be cleaned using glass
cleaner. Spray cleaner on the cloth, not directly
onto the lens, to prevent over spray or runoff.
CAUTION:
Do not allow glass cleaners to come
in contact with the plastic. Most glass
cleaning products will cause to become
brittle or dull the finish.
TIP:
To determine if the lens is glass or
plastic, tap the lens with a fingernail.
Plastic lens will have a dull hollow
sound whereas glass will have a clear
ping sound.

General Care & Cleaning
Special care needs to be taken when the
motorhome is exposed to a very humid climate
for an extended period of time. Protect the fabric
from any unnecessary exposure to moisture.
Cover all upholstery and make sure window
coverings are down to protect fabrics from sun
damage. Frequently used items require more
attention than those items not regularly used.
If a spill occurs, blot the moisture as quickly
as possible.
Do not
use soap and hot water as
this may set a stain. Clean the spot as soon as
possible.
Cleaning Upholstery Fabrics:
Water-based cleaners are not
recommended.
If a spill does occur, blot the soiled
area,
Do not
rub it.
Some solvents may have an adverse
reaction on a specific backing of
the upholstery fabric and are not
recommended.
To prevent overall soiling, frequently
vacuum or lightly brush to remove dust
and grime.
Clean spots using a mild water-free
solvent or dry cleaning product.
Clean only in a well ventilated area and
avoid any product containing carbon
tetrachloride or other toxic materials.
Use a professional furniture cleaning
service for overall cleaning.
Vinyl
Several areas of the motorhome, such as
the dash, ceiling and items of furniture, may
be covered in vinyl. The care and cleaning of
these areas are as follows:
Normal Cleaning:
Most common stains can be cleaned using
warm soapy water and a clear water rinse.
Moderate scrubbing with a medium bristle
brush will help to loosen soil from the
depression of embossed surfaces.
For stubborn stains use the following
commercially available mild detergents
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions:
Mr. Clean
or
Fantastik
®
.
Full strength rubbing alcohol or mineral
spirits may be tried cautiously as a last
resort on very stubborn stains if the above
suggestions do not work. Indiscriminate use of
any solvent or solvent containing cleaner can
severely damage or discolor the vinyl. Stains
may become permanent if not immediately
removed.
NOTE:
Detergents should never be used on a
regular or repeated basis for normal
cleaning.
CAUTION:
Powdered cleaners containing abrasives,
steel wool and industrial strength
cleaners are not recommended for vinyl.
Bird Excreta & Vomit Stains:
Sponge the area with a soapy water and
diluted bleach solution until stain is
removed. Rinse thoroughly with clean
water.
Urine Stains:
Sponge with soapy water containing a
small amount of household ammonia.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Surface Mildew:
Wash with diluted bleach and use a
soft brush for stubborn growth. Rinse
repeatedly with clear, cold water.
Ballpoint Ink:
Wipe the stain immediately with rubbing
alcohol in a well ventilated area.
