When cleaning your head lamps, please observe the following: do not rub them dry,
and never use abrasives or strong solvents. Remove dirt and contamination, such as
insects, by soaking with shampoo and then rinsing with plenty of water. Always use a
de-icer spray to remove accumulated ice and snow; never use a scraper.
Check the head lamp vent tubes, this will be a small rubber hose or plastic cap
located on the back of the light, make sure that they are free of dirt and the rubber is
not cracked or dried out. If the vent tubes are clogged, cracked or dried out the vent
system will not work correctly, allowing condensation to build up in the lamp. If the tube
is cracked or dried out please replace it. Replacement parts can be acquired from
your motorhome Dealer.
Head lamp seals should not be directly sprayed with high pressure (home or industrial)
wash systems. Damage to the seal can occur, causing the housing to leak water.
Composite head lamps have a polycarbonate lens, which is very sensitive to a
variety of chemicals. Contact with certain chemicals can cause crazing, softening or
cracking of the lens, which would require replacement of the entire lamp housing. The
following chemicals are suspected to cause similar results. Mild soap and water is
recommended for the cleaning of your lamps.
Note: Damage to the lamp assembly by these chemicals is not covered
under the manufacturer’s warranty.
To prevent injuries and damage, comply with any
instructions provided by the bulb manufacturer.
The exterior of your motorhome is made of pre-finished aluminum and fiberglass.
Wash it frequently with a warm water, mild detergent and a soft rag. Take care to
avoid spraying water directly into refrigerator and furnace vents when washing the
motorhome.
