“Touch-up” paint may be used to repair a
small scratch or imperfection in the graphic
stripe. To repair a larger area, it will be
necessary to obtain a replacement vinyl
graphic to maintain the original appearance.
Paint Codes
The recreational vehicle color scheme
is comprised of specific paint colors, each
assigned a code used to achieve a desired
color of paint. “Touch-up” paint may be used
to repair a small scratch or imperfection in
the paint surface. To paint a larger area, it is
necessary to obtain the paint code to get the
correct color match.
To obtain replacement graphics or
paint codes:
1. Contact Parts at 1-877-466-6226.
2. Specify the year, model, serial
number and exterior color scheme
name (if known).
Bright Metal
All chrome, stainless steel and aluminum
should be washed and cleaned each time
the recreational vehicle is washed. Use only
automotive approved non-abrasive cleaners
and polishes on exterior bright work. Do not
use rubbing compounds.
CAUTION:
When using chemicals to remove road
tars, use only automotive products
recommended for use on painted
surfaces and fiberglass. Observe
warning recommendations and
directions printed on the container of
agents used.
Cleaning the Tires
Road oil and dirt build-up can cause
deterioration of the tire rubber. Proper cleaning
methods and care of the tires must be used to
obtain the maximum service years from the
tires. Use a soft brush and a mild detergent to
clean the tires. If a dressing product is applied
to “protect” the tires from aging, use extra
care and caution. Tire dressings that contain
petroleum products or alcohol may cause
deterioration or cracking. In many cases it is
not the dressing that causes a problem, but the
chemical reaction that occurs. When the same
tire products are used on a passenger vehicle
tire that is replaced every three to four years,
it is rare to see a major problem. However,
in some cases recreational vehicle tires may
last longer due to limited annual mileage and
exposure.
Storage of Tires - Long Term
Tires age faster when not being used. A cool,
dry and sealed garage is the preferred storage
location. Many recreational vehicles are stored
outside. Some storage surfaces may cause
tires to prematurely age. Placing a barrier
(cardboard, plastic or plywood) between the
tire and storage floor/ground helps to protect
the tires. When the tire may be out of service
30 days or more, the recreational vehicle
should be in long-term storage condition.
NOTE:
If the recreational vehicle is stored,
inflate tires to maximum inflation
pressure as indicated on the Federal
Identification Tag.
Thoroughly clean the tires.
Unload the recreational vehicle so there
is minimum weight on the tires.
Ensure the surface is reasonably level,
firm, clean and has good drainage.
Move the recreational vehicle every
three months to prevent cracking in
bulge areas as well as flat spotting from
prolonged sidewall strain and tread
deflection.
Cover the tires to block direct sunlight
and ultraviolet rays.
The parking surface will affect
moisture accumulation on the chassis
and flooring.
Gravel covered parking areas allow
moisture to evaporate into the
underside of the recreational vehicle.
Sealed concrete pads allow better
ventilation under the recreational
vehicle.
Storage buildings with sealed concrete
floors or heated facilities greatly reduce
the amount of moisture accumulation
and protect the recreational vehicle
from moisture damage.
Avoid wet or greasy surfaces. Avoid
highly reflective surfaces like asphalt,
sand or snow.
Before removing the recreational vehicle
from long-term storage, thoroughly inspect
each tire tread area and inflation pressure.
If pressure check indicate tires have lost air,
inflate to correct pressure for current load
before use.
