EXTERIOR
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

How to Clean Roof Drains and Gutters
We’re passionate about paint. And we believe that the RV we create for you should be as beautiful as it is comfortable. Our
coaches are more gorgeous than ever, with a sleek, stunning exterior showcased by all-new graphics and the exquisite Full-
Paint Masterpiece™ Finish. Our goal is to create a perfect finish every time we paint a Newmar. This is how we do it:
Exterior Paint Overview
• Between 12 and 16 gallons of paint are used on each
model.
• Several types of primer are applied, followed by a
base coat, color for graphics and a final, clear coat.
• We use materials of only the highest quality and
integrity.
• Our technicians are among the most knowledgeable
and highly experienced.
• The equipment and techniques we have created are
among the most advanced.
We always ensure that each coat of paint lays flat and
smooth to produce a stunning brilliance. That’s how
we can promise that your Newmar RV will o
ff
er you an
exterior of the highest quality and durability.

products, refer to the Miscellaneous Care and
