Chapter 9 - Care and Maintenance
• Use a medium nylon bristle brush along with your selected cleanser
mixed with water and scrub the entire roof. Rinse thoroughly with clean
water to avoid residue buildup on the roof or sidewall of the unit.
• For more diffi cult stains contact your Damon dealer for the correct
heavy duty cleansers.
Do not use general-purpose cleaners containing
petroleum solvents, harsh abrasives, or citric based cleaners.
If your roof should somehow be punctured, cover the puncture to seal out mois-
ture, and have it repaired as soon as possible (check with your dealer).
The membranes used on the roof may have an extended warranty that is cov-
ered by the membrane manufacturer. This is for manufacturing defects only and
does not include leaks or punctures due to improper sealing, normal wear and tear,
or owner damage. See membrane manufacturer’s warranty for details.
Check roof vents regularly for debris that may block air fl ow or jam the cranking
mechanism. Lubricate the cranking mechanism with light oil.
It is important to maintain the seals and adhesives of your recreational vehicle to
prevent moisture from entering and destroying the components. When washing your
recreational vehicle, inspect the seals for signs of drying out, cracking and wear. You
should inspect and reseal, if necessary, every six months.
Check seals around doors, windows, vents and external seams. If a seal is cracked
or dried out, it should be replaced to prevent leakage.
Check roof seals every six months to see if they are cracked or peeling.
Check engine covers and fi rewall every six months to see if they are cracked or
peeled.
Be aware that weather, sun, and road vibration will affect seals, causing them to dry,
crack, or separate. If you are unsure what to look for, have your dealer instruct you,
and also show you the correct method for renewing the seals. If you prefer, they will
be able to perform seal maintenance for your convenience.
The exterior of your motorhome is made of pre-fi nished aluminum and fi berglass.
Wash it frequently with a mild soap and soft rag in lukewarm water. If you travel
roads that have been salted for ice, wash your motorhome as soon as possible. The
most common causes of corrosion are accumulation of road salt, dirt, and moisture
in hard to reach areas under the motorhome. Make sure you wash the undercar-
riage and wheel wells as well as the exterior of the motorhome. A good automotive
cleaner should be used occasionally to remove tree sap, road tar, insects and
industrial pollution that may damage surfaces. Do not use naphtha or turpentine. We
recommend that you wash your motorhome about every three weeks.
Your motorhome may be equipped with a slide-out room for added space and com-
fort. Proper care and maintenance is required to achieve the maximum perfor-
mance. Follow the guidelines listed below for your slide-out.
