MAINTAINING YOUR MOTORHOME
It is recommended that you regularly maintain your Pleasure-Way Motorhome in order to get the maximum benefits from your unit. The
life and performance of each component depends upon proper use, operation and maintenance.
With a regular maintenance schedule you should be able to identify any components that may need attention, allowing you to have many
years and miles of trouble-free traveling.
NOTE:
Please refer to your Mercedes-Benz Owner’s manual for chassis mechanical maintenance.
HELPFUL HINTS
•
To maintain your exterior painted fiberglass and metal
surfaces we suggest you thoroughly clean and wax these
pieces regularly. All fiberglass surfaces are painted with
automotive paint.
•
When storing your Pleasure-Way motorhome it is
recommended that you park the vehicle on a level surface.
Avoid parking in a front end down position as rain or snow
may collect in the air conditioner area, allowing moisture
to enter the vehicle through the air conditioner. Damage to
the motorhome as a result of incorrect parking will not be
covered under warranty.
•
When storing your Pleasure-Way motorhome, ensure all
holding tanks are emptied and flushed, the water system is
completely drained, including the water heater, the LP gas
valve is turned off, the 12 volt battery disconnect switch is
switched to the OFF position, and all electrical appliances
are turned off.
•
When storing your Pleasure-Way motorhome it is
recommended that you run your vehicle engine once a
month to allow the engine starting battery to recharge and
the vehicle fluids to flow through the engine. Please refer to
your vehicle operation manual for more details.
•
It is recommended that you run your generator for ½
hour under load each month. This will allow the system to
maintain fresh fuel, the engine to be lubricated and the
electronic components to avoid corrosive build up.
•
It is recommended that once a year that you check all seals
around the roof components such as antenna, roof vent,
plumbing stacks, etc. and side wall items such as furnace
vent, fridge vent, etc., of the vehicle.
•
It is recommended that you lubricate with a dry lubricant all
awning joints and window cranks yearly.
