SECTION 10 –
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

10-2

undercarriage regularly with water, especially 
horizontal surfaces, cavities, and other areas 
where mud and other deposits may collect.

EXTERIOR FINISH

Follow these precautions to keep the exterior 

surface of your motorhome looking its best and 
preserve maximum gloss and durability.

Parking

Avoid parking under trees. Rinse bird 
droppings and tree sap off as soon as possible. 
Lukewarm soapy water can help speed up the 
cleaning process.

Avoid parking near ocean salt spray. 

Avoid parking near factories with heavy 
smoke or industrial fallout.

Driving

Antifreeze, fuel, or window solution spilled 
on plastic surfaces, decals, and appliques 
should be rinsed off immediately with water.

Bugs and bird droppings should be rinsed off 
with water or washed with lukewarm soapy 
water daily.

Washing

Frequent washing and thorough cleaning is 
recommended to prevent damage to the finish 
from exposure to damaging salts, calcium 
chloride, road tar, tree sap, insects, and other 
foreign material.

Do not use strong soaps or detergents for 
washing the motorhome.

Wash with cool water out of direct sunlight 
using a quality automotive detergent. Never 
wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or while the 
vehicle surface is hot.

Be careful when using pressure-type washers 
to avoid loosening exterior decals or sealants.

NOTE: Avoid aiming water flow from a hose or 

spray from high-pressure washing 
equipment into any appliance intake 
because damage or difficulty in 
operating appliances may occur.

Commercial vehicle wash facilities should be 
avoided. Revolving brushes, “soaking” 
solutions, and high-pressure water spray may 
damage sealants, decals, and appliques.

Pressure-sensitive appliques or decals on your 
coach require very little maintenance, but 
should be treated like any painted surface on 
your vehicle. Wash with mild soap and water 
and rinse thoroughly. See “Exterior Graphic 
Care” for details.

After washing the coach, carefully inspect 
sealant around window frames and vents and 
any other joints that may have loosened or 
separated. See “Sealants - Inspection and 
General Information” at the beginning of this 
section for details.

Waxing and Polishing

When water will not bead up and roll off the 

finish of your freshly washed vehicle, a coat of 
automotive wax may be applied to the finish. 
Wax not only improves the appearance of the 
vehicle, but protects the finish against oxidation 
and corrosive substances.

We recommend using a wax that is compatible 

with automotive paint finishes.

NOTE: If you use a polish or a cleaning 

compound that does not contain a wax 
preservative, we recommend reapplying 
a coat of hard wax after cleaning or 
polishing the finish.

EXTERIOR GRAPHIC CARE

The pressure-sensitive graphics on your 

vehicle require very little maintenance. In order 
to allow the graphics to have the longest life 
possible, the following steps should be taken.

NOTICE

Never use a strong solvent such as 
lacquer thinner, or harsh abrasives on 
plastics, decals, and painted surfaces.
