After each trip, set up your camper in your driveway and clean
thoroughly. Discard all unused food items, especially those items
stored in the ice box or refrigerator to avoid attracting insects or
animals.
CONDENSATION
Condensation can be a natural occurrence in modern, tightly
constructed, recreational vehicles. When the unit is tightly closed,
especially in cold weather, the relatively small air volume in
the RV can absorb only a certain amount of moisture. When the
saturation point is reached, the moisture is released in the form
of condensation. (Certain amounts of condensation should be
expected, especially on cool surfaces such as windows and metal
door frames.) However, excess condensation can damage walls
and ceilings. Bathing, dishwashing, appliances and unvented
gas burners, all add moisture to the air. You can control this by
allowing the moisture to escape to the outside. Use your roof vent
when cooking; don’t hang wet clothes in your unit to dry. Opening
a window slightly and the use of fans to circulate air will reduce
condensation.
TENT
To condition the tent prior to your first trip, set up the camper
and spray with water. Allow the tent to dry and then spray again.
This will expand the thread inside the stitch holes. Always ventilate
and dry the tent with bows and braces in place, as soon as possible
after each exposure to moisture. After every trip, wash dust and
dirt, bird and tree droppings, insects and other foreign material from
the exterior tent surfaces. These substances can damage the vinyl
in your tent. Use warm water and a soft bristle brush to remove
stubborn stains. Rinse tent with cool water.
Allow the tent to dry
completely before lowering. Mend tears and holes with patching
material or cement. Leaks in tent seams can be repaired by using a
good commercial seam sealer.

WARNING!
CAUTION: Use of sprays (hair, insect, deodorant, etc.)
near fabric can destroy fabric finish. NEVER allow
spray to come in contact with tent fabric.
INTERIOR MAINTENANCE
FOLDING TABLE LEGS
Fold table legs and secure with straps. Lower table onto seat
braces. Arrange cushions on top for additional sleeping capacity.
VINYL WINDOW & SCREENS
Unzip vinyl windows to permit ventilation. Roll vinyl and secure
in place with straps.
CARE OF PRIVACY CURTAINS AND
DRAPES
Curtains are to be dry cleaned only. Curtains and drapes slide
along tracks.
CARE OF WOODWORK
Clean woodwork with regular household furniture polish. DO
NOT use water to clean wooden surfaces. Scuffs may be covered
with furniture wax and stain mixture. Scratches may be covered
with putty stick.
CARE OF DRAWERS
Clean wooden surfaces with household furniture polish. Wash
plastic surfaces with warm water and liquid soap. DO NOT use
abrasive cleansers.
CARE OF FLOORING
Sweep and damp mop vinyl floors.
ROOF
Frequently check the seals around all extrusions, handles, lights,
roof center seam, etc. Reseal as necessary with silicone sealer.
With expansion and contraction from weather and use, these seals
need to be maintained or damage to your roof from water will
result.
BODY
Wash dust and dirt, road tar, bird and tree droppings, insects
and other foreign material from exterior surfaces. Use a mild soap
in cold or lukewarm water. Apply a good quality auto wax at least
once a year.

WARNING!
CAUTION: To avoid marring body surfaces, DO NOT
use abrasive cleaning compound or cloth. DO NOT
wipe the surface with a dry cloth; DO NOT wash or
wax your unit in the hot sun, wait until the surfaces
have cooled.
FRAME
Inspect the frame periodically. Remove dirt and rust and apply
rust preventative paint as required routine maintenance.
ELECTRIC BRAKES
After a break-in period of 200 miles, brakes should be adjusted.
Inspect and adjust brake drums, lining and shoes at the beginning
of each camping season or before an extended trip.
