Class A
Because they are not sealed, under ‘dew point’
conditions the headlights may exhibit signs of
humidity condensation on the reflector surface
and lens, such as small droplets of water or
‘fogging over’.
If this happens, drive with the headlights on so
the moisture can evaporate and expel through the
venting system designed into the headlamp
assembly.
INTERIOR SOFT GOODS
We recommend a weekly routine of
vacuuming all fabrics and carpet throughout the
motor home to prevent an accumulation of dirt
which can detract from the appearance and
shorten the life of carpet and fabrics.
Leather Upholstery
Driver / Passenger Seats - Optional
The optional leather seats are made of top
quality cattle hide leather.
•
We recommend using a mild soap with water
applied gently to the solid areas. Buff dry
immediately with a soft cloth to avoid water
spotting. Avoid harsh and excessive rubbing
while cleaning. Soft leather needs delicate
care.
•
Never use harmful substances (e.g. stain
removers, solvents, saddle soap, shoe polish
or other unsuitable fluids) on soft leather.
Cleaning and touch-up kits are specifically
formulated for leather upholstery are
available from most furniture dealers.
Fabric Upholstery
Some fabrics used in this motor home may
contain fire retardant and lightfastness additives
which can be damaged by use of improper
cleaning 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, carpets
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.
Vinyl Fabrics
Vinyl should be cleaned with a soft, damp
cloth, and a mild detergent only. Do not use
solvents. Solvents may damage the surface of the
vinyl.
Draperies, Curtains and
Bedspreads
These items may be woven from a variety of
fabrics. We recommend that these be
professionally dry cleaned only. A five percent
shrinkage may occur when you have these items
dry cleaned.
CARE OF CEILING FABRIC
While using your coach, your ceiling fabric
may become soiled and require spot cleaning
from time to time.
These materials are made from polypropylene
or polyester synthetic fibers, so they clean very
well with virtually no damage to the color or
fabric itself.
WARNING
When cleaning upholstery and fabric, do
not use lacquer thinner, nail polish
remover, laundry soaps, or bleach. Never
use carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, or
naptha for any cleaning purpose. These
materials may cause damage to the
material being cleaned and most are
highly flammable.
