epending upon your area and where your
RV is stored, your vehicle may be a target for
damage from rodents and insects. To protect
your RV, never leave food inside and ensure
that all surfaces are clean. Place rodent
control products in the unit during periods of
storage. Mice and other rodents can do a
tremendous amount of damage to the drapes,
cushions, etc., particularly during the winter
months. Storing your RV in a field can make it
particularly inviting. Periodically inspect it
during storage and seal off any areas that can
offer an entry point to rodents or insects.
Remember to remove any screens or tape
used to seal openings before using the RV
again. Damage from rodents or insects is not
covered by the
Towable Limited Warranty
.
When storing your RV, it is recommended that
the auxiliary battery (customer supplied) be
disconnected to avoid battery discharge.

ORMALDEHYDE
The RV industry uses many products including
carpeting,
paneling,
shelving,
plywood,
draperies, and fabrics that may have used
formaldehyde in the process of making those
products. Other airborne pollutants including
campfires,
cigarettes
and
cigarette
byproducts, cooking and carbon monoxide
often
have
a
higher
concentration
of
formaldehyde than an RV. Air pollutants can
be an irritant and you may experience irritation
to the eyes, ears, nose and throat.
When an RV is closed up for a period of time, it
is possible for a process of outgassing to occur
which can draw irritants into the air. So it is very
important to properly ventilate your RV to
remove the outgassing. This is more prevalent
in new RV’s as they release moisture from
construction materials through several heating
and cooling sessions until dissipated.
Areas of high heat and humidity will increase
the outgassing process. Ventilate by opening
all the windows, and circulate the air with an
oscillating
fan.
Remember
ventilation
is
imperative at all times in close quarters, not
only for indoor air quality, but also for proper
function of appliances and elimination of
condensation (see
Condensation
).
The following label should be left permanently
affixed to the RV:

To keep the value of your RV, perform regular
maintenance using the proper materials and
procedures. Use only those materials and
procedures
that
comply
with
all
local
environmental pollution control regulations.
Carefully select the materials to be sure that
they do not contain corrosives.
Make sure you have selected the right
cleaning agent before you begin the cleaning
process. If in doubt, check to see if the cleaner
will cause damage by testing a small area out
of sight or contact your dealer for assistance.

the instructions
provided
by the
