tortion or damage to resin parts. Excessive pressure can flood the RV's interior.
•
DO NOT take your RV through automatic car washes.
•
Avoid forcing water inside the RV, which could possibly damage component parts.
•
Extreme caution should be used with any type of pressure sprayer around all attachments, doors, windows,
appliance vents, etc.
•
Keep the washing nozzle about 16 inches (40 cm) or more away from the RV body.
•
When washing around the door, vent and glass areas, hold the nozzle at right angles to the surface.
•
If chalking occurs, first wash and wax a small area to see if the luster returns.
•
Have your dealer inspect the RV If the exterior becomes scratched, nicked or cracked.
During cold weather
If the slideout or door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or crack the rubber gasket that is installed around
the slideout or door. Pour warm water on the gasket to melt the ice (wipe off the water thoroughly after opening the
slideout or door). To prevent the weather stripping from freezing, treat it with a silicone spray.
Salt and other chemicals spread on winter roads can have a detrimental effect on the RV's underbody. If your RV is
exposed to these conditions:
•
Wash the exterior of your RV.
•
Carefully spray the underbody with a high-pressure hose, remove any mud or debris that could trap and hold
salt or moisture.
•
After washing your RV, wipe off all water drops from the rubber parts around the slideout and doors.
Waxing your RV
Wax your RV once or twice a year, or when painted surfaces do not shed water well. Use a soft cloth to apply a small
amount of wax to the painted surfaces. After the wax has dried, polish the RV with a dry, soft cloth. Do not wax your
RV in direct sunlight. Wax it after the surfaces have cooled. Do not apply wax to any area having a flat black finish as
it can cause discoloration. If the finish has been stained with wax, wipe off the area with a soft cloth and warm water.
When waxing the area around the various openings, do not apply any wax on the weather strip. If it is stained with
wax, the weather strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal around the opening.
Polishing your RV
If painted surfaces have been severely damaged and have lost their original luster and color tone, polish the surface
lightly with a fine polishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damaged surface only; polish a somewhat
wider area, moving the polishing cloth in one direction. After polishing, flush the compound from the surface and
apply a coat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
