CARE OF BODY COMPONENTS
EXTERIOR CARE
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.
TPO Roof
1
CAUTION:
All roofs require maintenance. At least once a year, inspect all
seams: front and rear, around all vents, and along all moldings. If you notice
any deterioration in the seal, scrape off any cracked, lifting or loose sealant and
reseal the area. Contact your dealer for the appropriate sealant to use.
The proper care, cleaning and maintenance of your TPO Roofing 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.
A good thorough cleaning with some elbow grease and the suggestions above should
keep your roff looking good and remove most stains. FOr more stubborn stains, you
should contact your authorized dealer.
If you keep your TPO roof clean, you will be performing the primary maintenance
nexessary to keep it looking good and extend its longevity.
Annual inspection of the roof is suggested. Check the membrance for possible damage
and check the caulk/lap sealant used in all termination areas and around all accessories
and fasteners.
TPO Roofing is UV resistant. It will not retain odors or rot.
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. 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 prevent cracks from becoming
larger.

center of the door.
3. There are four indicator lights on the door. Initally they will "glow" red when power

batteries are fully charged, the indicators will turn green, indicating the transceivers
are ready for use. If the indicator light blinks red, try removing the handset and re-
inserting it into the charger unit.
