ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

SEALS
The seals around the doors, windows, vents, slide-out trim, and external seams should be checked at
least semi-annually. Additionally, the roof seams should be inspected for cracking or peeling semi-
annually. If deterioration is noted during a routine maintenance inspection, reseal the seams or seals
with an approved sealant to prevent leaks.
Your Tiffin Motorhomes dealer can perform resealing inspections and subsequent work for you. It is
recommended that a Tiffin Motorhomes authorized service center perform these inspections period-
ically and perform necessary resealing when necessary.
Use only 100% cotton towels to dry your vehicle. Adding vinegar to your wash water and washing in
the morning or evening will help prevent water spots. Water spots damage the exterior of your coach
the same way they damage glass shower doors. They etch their way into the surface and removal be-
comes difficult. Prevention becomes the key.
Wash one side at a time, rinse, and then dry quickly using a squeegee followed by a towel placed over
the cleaning head.
To remove oil and grease remember an important rule of cleaning: Give your product time to work.
Dab a bit of concentrated cleaner like CleanEz by Mary Moppins—never an orange based cleaner or
one with petroleum distillates—onto a soft cloth. Apply to the oil spot and wait 10 to 15 minutes be-
fore rubbing lightly to remove the oil. Rinse immediately.
