The electrical system requires minimal maintenance under normal circumstances. Most electrical
maintenance in the recreation vehicle involves the chassis and auxiliary batteries. Keeping the
batteries properly maintained will help to eliminate many frustrating electrical problems. Make sure
to refer to the index for the location of electrical and battery maintenance elsewhere in this
manual.
The generator is another area in which simple preventive maintenance can “head off” problems
before they happen. Read the manual supplied with the generator for the care and maintenance
required on a regular basis. If you experience electrical problems with your recreation vehicle,
make sure to have it checked by a qualified electrician.
Check roof vents regularly for debris that may block air flow or jam the cranking mechanism.
Lubricate the cranking mechanism with light oil.
Avoid abrasive cleansers (even the liquid and cream types), alcohol based products, and
solvents such as acetone and MEK. Gasoline and kerosene should not be used because of
the damaging effect they have on the plastic surface, as well as the fire hazard they
present. Often the damage caused by solvents, alcohol, citrus based and oil based
products may not be immediately noticeable, but the plastic is made weaker, and prone to
stress cracking.
Many components of the recreation vehicle are constructed of strong, lightweight ABS plastic.
Sometimes, it may be necessary to remove stains, or generally clean. A mild solution of soap and
water will clean many stains, and should be used initially. Tougher stains may require stronger
cleaners, but be sure to read the label to determine if the product is recommended for use on
plastics.
If the fresh water storage tank is located inside the coach, the normal heating of the coach during
moderatley cold weather should be enough to insure its not freezing. In severe cold however, it is
wise to monitor the water temperature in the tank, and take appropriate steps to drain and
winterize if necessary. In severe cold it may be necessary to open lower cabinet doors at night in
both the bath and kitchen areas to keep warmer air circulating around water fixtures.
