Diesel Pushers
For diesel pusher coaches equipped with roof drains,
it is important to make sure the roof drain catch basin
strainers are cleaned and kept free of debris. There
are four (4) of them, and they are located at the front
and rear ends of the roof gutters, on both the left and
right sides. They may be covered by the roof-mounted
awnings. The drains can be blown out using compressed
air (approximately 60 PSI) from the drain pipes found
under the front and rear caps. There are typically two
drain pipes on the passenger side of the rear cap and
one on each side of the front cap.
This article provides cleaning recommendations and instructions for roof drains and gutters.

Roof and Sidewalls Overview and Maintenance
This article provides a basic overview and maintenance of the roof and sidewalls.
Paint, Roof, and Siding
Sidewalls
Newmar RV sidewalls are designed with structure to
make them more rigid and dependable. By building
aluminum frames with studs 16 inches on center, your
sidewalls and roof will form a strong, lightweight,
integrated structure so you can enjoy superior
insulation. The sidewalls and end caps of your coach are
constructed of smooth fiberglass, which is features an
automotive style “Clear-Coat / Color Coat” painted finish.
SIDEWALLS MAINTENANCE
This article provides a basic overview and maintenance
of the roof and sidewalls. Clean any unpainted fiberglass
material with a mild cleanser and warm water. Use
only soft cloths. Using stiff bristle brushes may cause
scratches in the fiberglass surface.
EXTERIOR PAINT MAINTENANCE
For cleaning and waxing instructions and recommended
products, refer to the Miscellaneous Care and
Maintenance section in Newgle. Paint codes are typically
posted on the back side of one of the upper kitchen
cabinet doors.
Newmar is not responsible for weathering/oxidation
of gel-coated surfaces.

Roof
This unit is manufactured with a 7mm decking material
covered with fiberglass or rubber membrane. Proper
care and routine maintenance of your roof is necessary
for trouble-free performance. Frequent inspection (at
least annually) of roof drains, seams, and joints should
be performed by an Newmar Authorized Service Center.
ROOF MAINTENANCE
Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to insuring
a long, trouble-free life. Before cleaning, it is important
that you inspect the sealants and gaskets used to seal
components to the roof structure to be certain there is
no leakage during the cleaning process. Any cracks or
voids in the sealants and seals MUST be repaired prior to
spraying the roof with water. Extreme caution should be
used when inspecting or cleaning the roof.
For information about cleaning your roof drains and gutters,
refer to the Roof Drains article in Newgle.
NOTE FROM NEWMAR
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.
If inspection and/or maintenance becomes necessary,
stay on the main roof area. Do not walk or stand on
the raised portions of the roof or the gutter rail area (if
applicable). Do not exceed 300 pounds on the roof.
Do not place items on the roof for transportation. The
roof was not designed to support the transportation
of luggage or other items.
