EXTERIOR
Damage may occur to your unit if excessive condensation
exists. This problem can be controlled by:
1. Slightly opening a window or roof vent to allow the
moisture to escape from the unit.
2. A small dehumidifier is also very effective in removing
moisture from the air.
How To Prevent Window Condensation
This article provides a preventative overview of condensation on the inside of the windows and within the coach.
Accumulation of condensation on surfaces within your unit occurs when warm, moist air contacts a cool surface. It is most
evident on the inside of windows.
Since surface condensation within the coach cannot
be controlled by the manufacturer, damage caused by
condensation is not covered by your Newmar Limited
Warranty.
IMPORTANT
!
Newmar Corporation does not recommend the use of
any catalytic heaters.
IMPORTANT
!
Condensation levels are highest during times when a
person is cooking or taking a shower in the unit, but
these are not the only times condensation is present.
Condensation can migrate through ceiling panels and
saturate the fiberglass insulation in your ceiling cavity.
This condition often causes the occupants to believe
the recreational vehicle has a roof leak. Walls and
ceiling panels may also become wet when the moisture
accumulates on these surfaces.
Care and Maintenance
Keeping your windshield clean will provide optimum
visibility to view the road ahead. Should you encounter
rock chips or cracks, have them fixed by an automotive
glass professional immediately to avoid costly windshield
replacement. If the crack spreads, replacement may be
necessary.
Windshield Maintenance and Replacement
Proper care and maintenance of your windshield is critical to maintain good visibility and safe operation of the coach.
Windshield Replacement
When replacing a windshield, Newmar highly
recommends purchasing the new windshield through
the Newmar Parts department to ensure proper
windshield fit. Customers and dealers have experienced
many size and installation issues when attempting
to use aftermarket windshields. If your windshield
needs replaced, make sure that your dealer or glass
replacement company purchases the replacement
windshield directly from Newmar.
CAUTION
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers with damaged blades, as they may cause damage to the glass. Damage to
glass by rocks, damaged wipers, or other foreign objects are not warrantable repairs.
Check the windshield washer fluid level prior to each trip,
and top off the fluid reservoir as needed.
WARNING
!
It is recommended that access, cleaning, and
maintenance be conducted by a qualified professional
at your local dealership. Use caution if working on
top of your vehicle. The wet roof surface is extremely
slippery.
This article provides basic information about the skylight installed in the coach.
For improved lighting and
headroom, a skylight may also
be installed in the bathroom
over the shower. The opening
provides additional light during
daylight hours, and the skylight
is tinted to provide privacy and
reduce glare.
The skylight should be
inspected with the roof and components, and the sealant
should be maintained. Some sealants are not compatible
with the skylight material. Newmar recommends using
Surebond SB-140 butyl sealant around the skylight.
Skylights Overview
Periodic cleaning using a mild detergent or cleaner
specifically designed for plastics (such as Novus No. 1)
is necessary; cleaning frequency may depend on the
surrounding conditions while driving, parking, or storing
the coach.
