JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 13-EXTERIOR
When using any of the above products, please follow the cleaning product
manufacturer’s directions! If practical, use a wet/dry vacuum to remove all moisture
or excess cleaning product. Do not fold up tent while fabric is still wet or damp!
Most of the above items can be purchased at local hardware stores, and RV or Marine
dealers or supply stores.

RAME
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 frame
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.

NOTE : 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.

While you are cleaning the exterior roof assembly, also inspect the roof vents (including
sealants) for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the refrigerator and holding tank vents
for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. All exterior access doors and vents
need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect nests, mud daubers, etc.) while
the appliances are in use.

INDOWS
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.

Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with an optional roof ladder. The recreation
vehicle roof has decking under the rubber roof membrane to allow you to walk on the roof
(with caution) to do maintenance.
WARNING
If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a roof ladder, do not leave items attached
to it while traveling. The ladder has a weight limit of 350 lbs. when using it to access
the roof. DO NOT exceed this weight limit.
