SECTION 11
STORAGE & MAINTENANCE TOWABLE
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.
NOTE: 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).
S
EALANTS
Sealants perform a very important function
and should be inspected closely and regularly
maintained. We incorporate many different
types of sealants, including butyl/putty, black
butyl-encapsulated foam, silicone (clear and
colored), roof sealant and foam. In general,
sealants do not have "set" lifetimes. Varying
environmental factors affect the pliability and
adhesiveness of sealants. You or your dealer
must:
Inspect all sealants, a minimum of every
six months. Make sure to check the roof
and all four sides of the RV including al
moldings, doors, vents and exterior
attachments. A quick walk around the RV
before leaving may help prevent potential
problems during trips and vacations.
Have the sealant replaced if you notice
any cracks, peeling, voids, gaps, breaks,
looseness or any sign of physical
deterioration. Reseal at lease one time
each year as preventative maintenance.
Always use the same type of sealant that
was removed. Your dealer service or
parts manager can help you obtain the
correct sealant(s).
The sealants may become damaged due to
ultraviolet exposure, air pollution, freezing
temperatures and exposure to other
elements. If deteriorated, repair immediately
to prevent damage.
If you notice water inside the RV, immediately
have the dealer check for the source of the
leak. Failure to correct the leak may result in
serious damage to your RV; this damage may
not be warrantable.
Although the diagrams below may not
accurately reflect the exact model of your RV,
make sure you inspect all sealants as
indicated in the text. If you have questions
and/or need assistance with sealing your RV,
consult with your RV dealer.

Prior to Storage
If storing for the winter, be sure the RV is
winterized (refer to
Sec. 7 Plumbing System
,
Winterizing the plumbing system).
~ Check your roof and other surfaces to
ensure there is no damage and potential
leakage that might otherwise go unnoticed
until it is too late.
Failure to properly maintain or reseal your
RV may result in serious water damage to
the roof and other parts of the RV. This
damage is not covered by the
Towable
Limited Warranty
