Caravan movers
If thinking of installing a caravan mover as an
after fit it is advisable to consult your dealer, as
this may not be possible with shock absorbers
(if fitted).
Caravan exterior
Plastic Panels (GRP)
These are used for front and rear panels, side
walls and roof.
Cleaning
1. Wash the caravan regularly with mild
detergent. Rinse with cold water and leather
off.
2. For better protection a similar coloured
good quality car wax may be applied.
For sealed areas a mild soap is the best way
to clean without affecting the sealant.
Acid or alkaline based cleaners or solvents
should not be used.
!
WARNING:
Under no circumstances use
any abrasive cleaning agents or solvents on
the exterior panels.
Care should be taken as the silicon in some
polishes can attack the rubber used on the
exterior for seals and gaskets.
!
WARNING:
Do not wash your caravan
with a high pressure washer as these can
permanently damage the seals of your
caravan.
Acrylic Windows
Wash windows carefully, as you would with
the paintwork of your car, do not scrub
windows prior to removing surface dirt and
film with a hose pipe - trapped dirt could
cause scratching.
Wash with a solution of warm soapy water,
windows can then be dried off with a leather.
Small scratches can be removed, consult
your dealer.
Catches and stays do not require any special
attention or lubrication.
Acrylic (Plastic) Window Condensation
Unlike domestic double glazed windows,
your caravan windows are not vacuum sealed
instead the double panes of acrylic plastic with
are fitted with a breathable plug on the inner
pane.
It is possible, in weather where extremes
in temperatures occur between night and
day, that customer will notice condensation
between the panes. The same phenomenon
may also occur when washing your vehicle on
a hot day.
The condensation should clear itself when
the ambient conditions return to normal and
the air between the panes dries. However, if
this is taking a longer time than required, the
breathable plug (normally located in the top
corner of the window) can be removed, with
