Care of Stripes
and Decals
The pressure-sensitive decals on your coach
require very little maintenance. They should be
treated like any painted surface on your vehicle.
Here are a few helpful hints on caring for decals:
•
Wash decals with plain soap and water or
any retail car wash soap. Always rinse
thoroughly.
•
Keep high-pressure wash nozzles at least 12
inches from edge of decals. High pressure
water spray may cause edge lifting of decals.
•
Test any cleaning solution on a small section
of decal before using.
•
Do Not use window cleaners or solutions
that contain ammonia.
•
Do Not use any alcohol or solutions contain-
ing alcohols, which can soften and smear
colors.
•
Do Not use any aromatic solvents such as
acetone, MEK, toluene, xylene, etc., on
decals.
•
Do Not use lacquer thinner or paint on
decals.
•
Do Not overcoat decals with clear paint.
•
Do Not let gasoline or other fuels drip and
stay on decals for any length of time. Rinse
immediately.
COMPARTMENT DOORS
Apply powdered graphite lubricant to com-
partment door latches periodically as necessary
to keep latches operating smoothly.
If rubber door seals should become sticky,
making the door hard to open, apply a rubber
protectant such as 303
TM
, Armor-All
TM
, Son-of-
a-Gun
TM
, etc.
INTERIOR
UPHOLSTERY, CARPETING AND
DRAPERIES
We recommend a weekly routine of vacuum-
ing all fabrics and carpet throughout the motor
home to prevent an accumulation of dirt which
can detract from the appearance and shorten the
lift of carpet and fabrics.
Carpets -
See the carpet manufacturer’s Carpet
Care Guide in your Owner InfoCase. It includes
detailed information on cleaning soils and re-
moving stains from the fine carpet in your coach.
Upholstery
Some fabrics used in this motor home may
contain fire retardant and lightfastness additives
which can be damaged by use of improper clean-
ing products. Some water-based household
cleaning products are not formulated for use on
fabrics and may cause excessive shrinkage or
fading. Always test any cleaning product on a
hidden area of fabric before using on visible
areas. For best results, fabric cleaning should be
referred to a professional carpet and upholstery
cleaner.
NOTE: To minimize fading of upholstery, car-
pets and other interior fabrics caused by
excessive sunlight, the drapes, blinds or
shades should be closed when the motor
home is parked for an extended period of
time.
