Cabinetry and Woodwork Care and Maintenance
Cabinetry and Woodwork
Newmar’s exquisitely crafted cabinetry newly gleams with chrome-finished hardware, the perfect complement to the
array of appliances that make cooking and clean-up a breeze. Amish craftsmanship and elegance in design meld the
wood cabinetry and furniture seamlessly with the Newmar interior. All Newmar cabinetry is custom built in our facility and
designed with function and convenience in mind, as well as to provide as much storage as possible in your coach.
Humidity and Climate Change
Controlling the coach environment is the first priority of
cabinet care and maintenance. Wood products shrink
and grow according to the environment in which they are
placed. These changes are in direct relationship to the
relative humidity levels.
As the humidity increases, the
wood expands, and as the humidity decreases, the wood
shrinks. This process does not happen instantaneously the
longer the wood is exposed to low humidity, the more it will
shrink as it dries out, and visa versa.
Coach owners who travel around the country may be
more prone to this issue, as their coach is exposed
to both extreme humidity and extreme dryness. It is
necessary to acknowledge the fact that wood changes
according its environment. Newmar recommends
maintaining relative humidity levels between the range of
35-50 percent and temperature levels between the range
of 40-90 degrees. The air conditioner or a dehumidifier
will reduce the humidity level; however in dry climates,
a humidifier may also aid in maintaining the appropriate
humidity levels by raising the humidity level.
Care and Maintenance
The cabinetry should be wiped down with furniture polish
to sustain the natural beauty and luster of the wood.
As with any wood product, do not saturate these
cabinets with water or any other liquid. Be sure to
wipe up spills as they occur to avoid staining.
IMPORTANT
!
Hardwoods may change color or darken when
exposed to sunlight. It is important that the window
shades be down during long periods of storage.
Changing shades of color, or discoloration, from
exposure to sunlight is not a warrantable repair, as it
is the nature of the hardwood products in your coach.
NOTICE
!
Construction
All joints on Newmar hardwood cabinets are glued, and
then screwed together for extra durability. Hardwood
raised panel cabinet doors are standard throughout the
coach. Depending on your coach model, you may have
hardwood cabinets or vinyl veneer finished cabinets. A
variety of vinyl veneer and stain finishes are available for
the cabinetry. A hand-sanded finish helps minimize seams
so your hardwood cabinetry is as beautiful as it is durable.
Metal drawer guides provide a smooth opening and
closing of the drawers in your coach. To open a drawer, lift
up slightly and pull open. This features helps prevent the
drawers from opening during transit. Your unit may also
include features such as adjustable pull out pantry boxes
in the kitchen, soft-close drawers, or a molded silverware
divider tray for added storage.
The following labels are examples of the notices that
may be posted in the coach in regards to condensation
prevention and formaldehyde exposure.
