Service.

INDOWS
Any ventilating window may permit water
inside, especially during heavy rainstorms or
while driving. This is normal and water should
only be seen in the lower track portion of the
window frame. Condensation will also cause
water to accumulate on windows and in the
tracks. Ensure that the escape window latches
are properly adjusted (the window will pop
open if not adjusted tight enough).
Window glass
The window glass can normally be cleaned
with a sponge and water. Use glass cleaner to
remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc.
After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a
clean, soft cloth.

UMPER
The rear bumper of your RV is not designed to
carry cargo. Items that extend beyond the
bumper OR weigh over 100# (45kg) will place
undo strain on the bumper. The 100# bumper
capacity includes weight of the spare tire that
may have been attached at the factory.
Some items may fall within the given weight
range, however, can still cause damage. Over
time, weight added to the bumper will cause
damage from the motion created while
traveling. In addition, extra weight behind the
axle may reduce the hitch weight (leading to
adverse handling conditions from wind gusts
and/or passing traffic).
S
EALANTS
Water is a recreation vehicle’s worst enemy
when it is allowed to enter where it is not
intended. Sealants perform a very important
function, must 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.
Sealants can be affected by ultraviolet
exposure, air pollution, extreme temperatures
and exposure to other elements. Conditions
such as rain, salt, dust and pollution may
increase the need to maintain your RV’s
sealants. Checking the sealants is considered
customer maintenance. It is recommended
that you or your RV dealer:
0
Inspect all sealants, a minimum of every
six months. Make sure to check the roof
and all four sides of the RV including all
moldings, windows, doors, vents and
exterior attachments. Reseal as
necessary and at least one time each year
as preventative maintenance.
0
Cap seal (if applicable) or replace the
sealant if you notice any cracks, gaps,

STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
If water is noticed entering the window
between the glass and frame or running
down an interior wall, contact your RV
dealer for a service appointment to have
the window re-sealed.
WARNING
To avoid exhaust gas entry into the
motorhome, keep windows closed when
the chassis or generator engines are
running.
CAUTION
Do not add items to the RV rear bumper.
Add-on items will eventually damage your
bumper. Damage caused by such
aftermarket equipment installation or
improper loading will void the warranty.
