CHAPTER 6
CARE OF BODY COMPONENTS
EXTERIOR ALUMINUM
Your new Jayco travel trailer has an improved smooth metal with a new polyester
automotive paint finish. This metal surface may be cleaned and polished as you would
your automobile.
1
CAUTION: We recommend that you do not take your recreation vehicle
through automatic car washes and extreme caution should be used if utilizing
any type of pressure sprayer around all attachments, doors, windows, appliance
vents, etc. to avoid forcing water inside the unit, possibly damaging components.
FIBERGLASS SIDEWALLS
Fiberglass walls are very durable and are easy to maintain. To keep them looking nice,
wax and buff them once a year. Standard automotive cleaning soaps and waxes work well
for general cleaning and maintenance. In addition, do not dry wipe surface. Special
cleaners and waxes are available at automotive and RV stores.
Scratches and chips can be easily fixed by an experienced fiberglass repair shop. Any
major damage should be repaired as soon as possible to keep cracks from spreading.
EXTERIOR ROOF
1
CAUTION:
All roofs require maintenance. At least once per year, inspect
and reseal all seams: front and rear, around all vents, and along all moldings.
If you notice any deterioration in the seal, scrape off any cracked or loose sealant
and then reseal the area.
Three different types of roof material are used on Jayco campers: rubber EPDM, TPO
Roofing or mill-finished aluminum.
Aluminum
- The roof is smooth mill-finished aluminum and needs very little mainte-
nance. For washing aluminum material, use a mild detergent soap and water solution.
Rinse well after washing. Rinse the sidewalls completely to remove streaking.
Rubber
- To keep material looking its best simply wash and clean with a sponge, water,
and non-abrasive common household detergent. For stubborn stains use a kitchen
cleanser with bleach. Do not allow the solvent to soak into the rubber material.
TPO Roofing
- The proper care, cleaning and maintenance of your TPO Rofing is quite
simple because of the basic properties and longevity of the material itself.
Periodic cleaning is the primary maintenance. The manufacturer suggests using Murphy’s
Oil Soap with a soft nylon brush or sponge. DO NOT USE solid or granulated cleaners,
ash they will marr the natural finish.
DO NOT USE Armor-ALl or other oil/solvent base cleaners as they will leave a slick
surface.
Battery Installation
Your radio comes with four nickel cadmium cells. Remove the cover by releasing the
clasp at the bottom of the compartment. Observe the polarity symbols inside the battery
tray when installing new batteries. Do not install different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or different brand rechageable).
1
CAUTION: Incorrect battery installation can damage the unit.
Battery Saver Mode
Your Two Way Radio has a unique circuit designed to dramatically extend the life of
your batteries. Four seconds after the transmit button has been pressed, the radio will
switch to battery saver mode, and the LCD display will turn off. The transceiver will
remain ready to receive any incoming transmissions while in the battery saver mode.
Pressing any of the buttons will illuminate the display and exit the battery saver mode.
