CHAPTER 7
MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
Your new Jayco travel trailer is designed to be as maintenance free as possible. However,
maintenance is important to retain its condition as near new as possible. Proper mainte-
nance will give you many trouble-free miles.
NOTE
:
Some areas in this chapter may not be applicable to your travel trailer.
SLIDEOUT
Your Power Gear slideout system has been designed to require very little maintenance.
To ensure a long life of your slideout system, read and follow these simple instructions.
1
CAUTION:
Do not work on your system unless the battery is disconnected.
• When the slideout is extended, visually inspect the inner slide rail assemblies
(Fig. 3-6 in Chapter 3). Check for excess build-up of dirt or other foreign material; re-
move any debris that may be present.
• If the system squeaks or makes any noise, apply a coat of lightweight oil to the drive
shaft and roller areas. (Fig. 3-6 in Chapter 3) Remove excess oil so dirt does not build-up.
• On travel trailers with a flush floor slideout, a light coat of silicone spray is recommended
one time per year. To apply the spray, lift the carpet flap. Using a light coat of spray,
make one pass all along the glide bar. It is recommended that this be done prior to each
camping season.
1
CAUTION: Use only a silicone spray to lubricate the glide bar. Other
lubricants may attract dirt and oils which will stain the carpet.
• If you have any problems or questions consult your local Jayco dealer or call Power Gear
1-800-334-4712.
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
Testing
1
WARNING:
DO NOT attempt to test the detector by any other means
than using the “test” button. DO NOT attempt to produce carbon
monoxide to test the detector.
The CO detector should be tested weekly for proper operation:
1. Push the test button until the yellow LED lights and a short beep is heard for
approximately three seconds.
2. Release button.
The detector will test itself for proper operation. Upon completion of the self-test, the
alarm will sound and each of the LEDs will light for approximately ¾ second. The
detector will then resume normal operation.
Fiberglass - Designer Legacy Fifth-Wheel Travel Trailer only
To clean the fiberglass, use soap and mild detergents for most stains. For stains that are
more stubborn, use a white Scotch Brite pad and a nonabrasive cleaner like Soft Scrub.
It is possible to work with minor scratches yourself. Carefully use a green Scotch Brite
pad and an abrasive cleaner like Ajax or Comet. Work in an area larger than the affected
area to blend them together. Use a circular motion. For most stubborn stains/scratches,
start with 240-grit sandpaper and follow with the green Scotch Brite pad and abrasive
cleaner. Repeat if necessary. If you are not comfortable with these instructions or if you
encounter problems, please consult a professional for assistance.
To prevent permanent damage:
• Always use a hot pad or trivets under hot pans or dishes or heat producing
appliances such as frying pans.
• Always use a cutting board; never use a knife on the counter top.
• Avoid harsh chemicals such as drain cleaners, oven cleaners, etc.
• If you use sandpaper, wet the surface area to control dust.
• Only have a professional fabricator use power sanding equipment on the special
lightweight materials.
• Do not let cleaners with bleach set on the top. Wipe them off promptly.
HARDWARE AND SINK OR SHOWER FIXTURES
Use mild dish soap and water to clean these fixtures. Never use harsh chemicals or
sprays. A mild solution of vinegar and water works well to remove hard water spots and
stains from the sink or shower fixtures.
