CARE AND MAINTENANCE
This article provides the Newmar-recommended step-by-step instructions for winterizing a coach.
How to Winterize a Coach
IMPORTANT
!
The more often the chrome is cleaned, the easier the
cleaning process. Coaches exposed to salt spray from
the road or ocean air should be cleaned and waxed
more often to maintain the best appearance.
IMPORTANT
!
Once water has been introduced into the system, it
is no longer protected and must be winterized again
any time the coach may be subjected to freezing
temperatures.
How to Clean Exterior Chrome
This article provides the Newmar-recommended procedure for maintaining your exterior chrome accessories.
1. Wash chrome items with soap and water the same
way you wash the exterior paint.
2. If the chrome still has some tarnish and water spots
on it, clean with a soft cloth and vinegar. Add a little
baking soda to the rag if you need a stronger cleaner.
3. To clean rust o
ff
of the chrome, use a piece of crinkled
aluminum foil dipped in vinegar. Scrub it with light to
medium pressure, while making sure the the foil stays
wet with vinegar. In instances of rust and/or corrosion,
you may use a very fine steel wool, but should be a
last e
ff
ort. Test it in an inconspicuous area to ensure
no damage is occurring while using the steel wool.
4. Rinse the area with clean water after using any
cleaning products.
5. Once the chrome is nice, bright, and shiny, dry it
completely with a soft cloth.
6. Apply a coat of wax and bu
ff
it. Apply a second coat
of wax, and bu
ff
it again.

Ultrafabrics Cleaning Guidelines for Vinyl-Covered
Furniture
Source: Recommended Cleaning Instructions for Ultrafabrics
One of the best ways to keep Ultrafabrics looking great
is through proper maintenance and regular cleaning
to prevent excessive dirt from accumulating. To help
keep your quality fabrics looking their best, follow these
guidelines to extend the life of the fabric:
•
Wipe up spills as soon as they occur
•
Clean with soap and water or alcohol based cleaners
•
Sanitize using disinfectants such as (1:5) bleach/water
solution
•
For stubborn stains, wipe o
ff
with isopropyl alcohol
as soon as possible
•
Thoroughly rinse all solution residue with clean water
•
Air dry
Follow the winterizing instructions to reduce the risk of
leaks caused by cracks from freezing pipes. Damage
caused from the fresh water system freezing can be
extensive and costly to repair. A new coach may be
equipped with a similar label if the system has been
winterized.
The following instructions are generic to Newmar
coaches, and are NOT specific to your coach. They
should only be used as a reference guide for this
process. Appliances, drain locations, and plumbing
components may vary by coach. The following images
are for example purposes only. Your coach may or
may not be equipped with the same components as
shown.
