Stone Guard (if so equipped)

powdered soap, liquid and spray cleaners or
pressure washing. Wax frequently to protect
the surface and make cleaning easier.

Any ventilating window may permit water
inside, especially during heavy rainstorms.
Condensation
will also cause water to
accumulate on windows and in the tracks. The
window “glass” can normally be cleaned 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.

Sand, pebbles, objects on the highway,
climate (salt air exposure) or ice inhibiting
chemicals used during the winter months will
damage the paint, inviting rust and other
deterioration. Periodically inspect the exterior
exposed areas, clean and repaint the steel
members occasionally and whenever you
notice rust or paint chipped away, to insure
protection.

The E-Z lube feature on your axles provides
the ability for the bearings to be periodically
lubricated without removing the hubs from the
axle. This feature consists of axle spindles that
have been specially drilled and fitted with
grease zerks in their ends. When grease is
pumped into the zerk, it is channeled to the
inner bearing and then flows back to the outer
bearing and eventually back out the grease
cap hole. If you have further questions, consult
with your dealer.
The convenient lubrication provisions of the
E-Z lube must not replace periodic inspection
and maintenance of the bearings. Use a
hand-operated grease gun; improper use of a
commercial grease gun may damage the
seals.

The rear bumper of your RV is not designed to
carry cargo. Items that extend beyond the
bumper OR weigh over 100 lbs. (45kg) will
place undo strain on the bumper. The 100 lb.
bumper capacity includes the weight of the
spare tire that may have been attached at the
factory.
Some items may fall within the given weight
range, however, can still cause damage. Over
time, weight added to the bumper will cause
damage
from the motion created while
traveling. In addition, extra weight behind the
axle may reduce the hitch weight (leading to
adverse handling conditions from wind gusts
and/or passing traffic).
