Section 13: Exterior
If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a roof ladder, do not leave
items attached to it while traveling. The ladder weight capacity should
not be exceeded (see ladder capacity label).
DO NOT
exceed this weight
limit. There should never be more than one person on the ladder at the
same time.
Self-Storing ladders:
Make sure to pull all (there may be up to 4) pins
to unlock the ladder. All pins
must be re-inserted
when locking the
ladder open for use. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury.
Some models may be equipped with a self-storing ladder mounted to the side of the vehicle.
Self-Storing Ladder operation
1.
Pull all the locking pins (arrows) out of the ladder brackets
(
Fig. A
).
2.
Pull the ladder down and toward you and it will swing
away from the RV.
3.
When the brackets are extended (
Fig. B
), re-insert the
pins (arrows) to lock the ladder in place while in use.
4.
To return the ladder to the storage position; pull the
locking pins and push the ladder up and in towards the
RV.
5.
When the ladder is in the storage position, re-insert all
locking pins to prevent the ladder from opening while
traveling.
Sealants
Sealants perform a very important function and should 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.
You or your dealer must:
Inspect all sealants, a minimum of every six months. A quick walk around the motor
home before leaving may help prevent potential problems during trips and vacations.
Have the sealant replaced if you notice any cracks, voids, gaps, breaks, looseness or
any sign of physical deterioration.
Always use the same type of sealant that was removed. Your dealer service or parts
manager can help you obtain the correct sealant(s).
The sealants may become damaged due to ultraviolet exposure, air pollution, freezing
temperatures and exposure to other elements. If deteriorated, repair immediately to prevent
damage. Cap seal all trim and openings at least once after the first year and thereafter
as cracks, peeling, lifting and shrinkage occur. Conditions such a as rain, salt, dust and
pollution may increase your vehicle maintenance needs.
