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.
WARNING
!
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they
become worn or damaged. Worn or damaged wiper
blades may cause damage to the windshield, as well
as interfere with the driver’s ability, possibly resulting
in a crash leading to injury or death.
Worn, damaged, or split rubber around the wiping
edge is generally caused by age and use, but may be
due to the e
ff
ects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays on the
rubber. Damage may also be caused by ice scrapers,
automatic car washes, or vandalism. Damage to glass by
rocks, damaged wipers, or other foreign objects are not
warrantable repairs.
Proper care and maintenance of your wiper blades is
critical to maintain good visibility and safe operation of
the coach. Clean the rubber element every time you fill
your gas tank, and remove loose dirt and road grime
from the windshield. When washing your coach, use a
small amount of non-abrasive glass cleaner on a wet
sponge to clean both the windshield and the rubber
wiping elements. In colder climates, use an ice scraper
to remove snow and ice. Using your wipers to de-ice
your windshield can damage the blades, as well as the
arm and wiper motor.
Streaking, chattering, and worn blades may be caused
by dry rubber that has hardened and cracked. Streaking
can also be caused by oil, tree sap, road tar, or other
foreign substances on the blade rubber or windshield.
Chattering sounds as the blade passes across the
windshield are caused by the “deformity” or “curve” in
the rubber that some wiper blades develop over time.

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.
