ROOF VENTS
Roof vents on inTech Trailers allow fresh air and light during the daytime into the trailer. Roof
vents also allow warm air to escape when the vent is open. However, the roof vent is not
intended to be open when traveling. It is important to make sure the vent is closed prior to
towing the trailer.
If your inTech Trailer is equipped with a MaxAire roof vent cover you can travel with your roof
vent in the open position. The MaxAire roof vent cover protects the roof vent from wind
damage during transportation and helps to keep rain and other weather from entering the roof
vent when in the open position.

FRAME MAINTENANCE
Trailers take serious abuse during transportation underneath the trailer in the frame area. It is
important to regularly inspect your frame for damage. It is equally important to keep your
trailers underside frame clean and free of road dirt or road salt. After you have transported
your inTech Trailer on a long trip or in foul weather make certain to clean the underneath frame
with a pressure washer to free the frame of road dirt and salt. This will greatly extend the life
of your inTech Trailer.

EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE
It is important to keep your trailer clean and free of road dirt in order to maintain proper
operation and protect your investment. Wash the exterior of your trailer after each use or when
dirt is present. Do not use a hard bristle brush on your trailer; this can damage the exterior
paints finish. Make certain the exterior of your trailer is wet before using anything to clean the
surface. It is best to use a sponge or soft bristle brush to avoid scratching your trailers paint.
Even a soft bristle brush can scratch the surface of a black trailer, use extreme caution when
washing your trailer. Change the water in your wash bucket frequently as dirt circulating in the
bucket can be carried back to your trailer and scratch the paints surface.
Black streaks on the side of your inTech Trailer can be cleaned using a product called “Black
Streak Remover” which is available at your local RV dealer. Make certain to follow the
instructions on the bottle prior to use. When washing your trailer use a quality RV or car wash.
It is important to wax your trailer at least once a year to provide protection from the weather
and sun. You can wax the painted surfaces, aluminum extrusions and even aluminum frame if
desired. Make certain that the surfaces are clean before waxing. Use a quality wax that is
available at an RV or automotive parts store.
Oxidation can form on the exposed aluminum over time. Keeping a protective coat of wax on
the surface should help to eliminate the oxidation. If oxidation does occur you can use an
aluminum cleaner or polish available at most RV or automotive stores. After cleaning or
polishing the aluminum you should apply a coat of quality wax.
