Maintenance
6. Do not let gasoline or other fuels drip or
stay on graphics for any length of time.
If a spill occurs, wipe off and rinse with
water immediately.
7. Do not apply wax over graphics, especially
if the wax contains any petroleum distillates.
Wax that has dried between stripes can
be removed by softening it with rubbing
(isopropyl) alcohol and cotton swabs. Be sure
to rinse the area after cleaning.
8. Be careful when storing your motor home.
The graphic materials should be protected
from prolonged direct sunlight and heat.
9. In the event you have added a “bra” to the
front of your unit, periodically remove the bra
and wash under the area. Allow to air dry.
Windows, Doors, Vents, and Locks
Keep moving parts, hinges and latches adjusted
and maintained . Lubricate with a light oil at
least once a year. Check and tighten the screws
holding the windows in place as required.
Clean screens by gently wiping with a damp
cloth or soft flat brush. Not all screens are
easily removable, and can be destroyed and
may need to be replaced.
Inspect the sealants around doors and
windows every three months. See Sealant
Renewal section.
Lubricate lock sets in doors and exterior storage
com part ments at least annually with powdered
graphite. If the motor home is located at a
beach or is exposed to salt air, more frequent
lubrication may be required.
FIBERGLASS ROOF SYSTEM
Cleaning
Your motor home is equipped with a
fiberglass roof. For normal cleaning,
standard household detergents or cleansers
may be used. Use a nonabrasive, common
household non-scented dishwashing
detergent and plenty of water. Be sure to
keep the sidewalls wet to reduce streaking.
Care
The fiberglass roof itself does not require annual
coatings or additional sealants. Periodic washing
with soap and water is all that is required.
Use caution when loading sharp articles on the
roof. If you add accessories or new equipment
on the roof, be sure the installer is qualified to
work on the fiberglass roof material. This is
required under the terms of the warranty.
Repair kits are available through your dealer.
The roof requires special adhesives and material.
Sealant Renewal
This section outlines the procedures you must
follow to maintain the weatherproof integrity
of your motor home. Leak damage caused by
failure to inspect and maintain the roof, vents,
A/C gasket, TV/satellite antenna and molding
seals may affect your warranty coverage.
The adhesives and sealants used in the
construction of your motor home were
developed to remain waterproof under sustained
effects of weather and vibration. However, even
the finest materials will eventually dry out and
lose their effectiveness .
Your dealer can perform the resealing inspection
and work for you. Your dealer also has current
information on sealants used in your motor
home, and can recommend the appropriate
sealants for you if you prefer to do this work
yourself. Always use the recommended sealants.
WARNING
The fiberglass roof material is slippery when it is wet.
A wet surface increases the potential to slip and pos-
sibly fall off the roof. Always use extreme care when
working on the roof performing any activity such as
inspections or repairs.
!
NOTE
Failure to seal could cause serious damage and will
affect your warranty coverage.
