MAINTAINING YOUR INVESTMENT...
MAINTENANCE
Your motorhome is designed to be as maintenance free as possible. However, maintenance
is important to retain its condition as near new as possible and preserve the warranty. The
information in the following pages is supplied to provide guidance for your maintenance
routine. Many of the component part manufacturers supply information for their
equipment. Refer to all instructions supplied with your motorhome when performing
maintenance. Proper maintenance will give you many trouble free miles.
.
NOTE: Some areas in this chapter may not be applicable to your motorhome.
.
NOTE: Failure to properly maintain your motorhome can cause numerous
problems and it voids Jayco’s warranty as well as the warranties of many of the
component part manufacturers.
Caution: We recommend that you do not take your recreation vehicle through
automatic car washes. Extreme caution should be used if utilizing any type of
pressure sprayer around all attachments, doors, windows, appliance vents, etc.
Avoid forcing water inside the unit, which could possibly damage component parts.
EXTERIOR
Fiberglass Sidewalls
Fiberglass walls are very durable and 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, chips and other cosmetic cracks 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.
Rubber Roof
CAUTION: All roofs require routine maintenance. At least once per year, inspect
and reseal all seams: front and rear, around all vents, and along all moldings.
Failure to properly maintain the unit’s seals may cause leaks and it voids the
warranty.
The rubber roof on your motorhome is manufactured by Alpha Systems. They have
supplied instructions with your motorhome to take care of your roof. Make sure you read
and follow these instructions when working on your roof. If you have questions, consult
with your independent, authorized dealer and/or visit the manufacturer’s website at
