Section 13: Exterior

If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a roof ladder, do not leave
items attached to it while traveling.
DO NOT
exceed the weight rating of
the ladder. The ladder weight capacity label is located under the bottom
step of the ladder. There should never be more than one person on the
ladder at the same time.

Self-Storing ladders: Make sure to pull all pins (there may be up to 4) to
unlock the ladder. All pins
must be re-inserted
when locking the ladder
open for use.
LADDER CAPACITY MAXIMUM 300 lbs. (136 kg)

DO NOT exceed the ladder maximum weight rating.

The maximum rating includes the person’s weight PLUS weight of items
carried.

When climbing:
•
Always face the ladder.
•
Climb slowly with weight centered between side rails.
•
Keep a 3 point contact on the ladder at all times (3 Point contact-two
hands and a foot or two feet and one hand).

Keep hands free.
•
Use of accessories such as lanyards to keep carried items tethered
will keep hands free and prevent falling items.
•
Heavy or bulky items should be brought up only after reaching the
roof.

Do not use the ladder if damaged in any way.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
Sealants
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 recreation vehicle including al moldings, doors, vents and
exterior attachments. A quick walk around the recreation vehicle before leaving
may help prevent potential problems during trips and vacations.

Failure to properly maintain or reseal your recreation vehicle may result
in serious water damage to the roof and other parts of the recreation ve-
hicle. This damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty.

To check the exterior sidewall sealants, use a stepladder placed safely
alongside the vehicle. Do not prop a ladder against the body of the RV as
it may damage the exterior finish.
