Controlling Mold Growth:
The owner can reduce or eliminate the occurrence of mold growth in the
motorhome; thereby, minimizing any possible adverse effects that may be caused
by mold. Taking the following steps can help reduce or eliminate mold growth in
the motorhome.
1. Check for signs of mold prior to bringing items in the motorhome.
Potted plants (roots and soil), furnishings, or stored clothing and
bedding material, as well as many other household goods, may
already contain mold growth.
2. Regular vacuuming and cleaning will help reduce mold levels. Mild
bleach solutions and most tile cleaners are effective in eliminating or
preventing mold growth.
3. Indoor humidity can be reduced by 30-60% when venting clothes
dryers to the outdoors. Ventilating the kitchen and bathroom by opening
the windows, by using exhaust fans, or a combination of both.
Operating the air conditioning will remove excess moisture in the air,
and help facilitate evaporation of water from wet surfaces.
4. Promptly clean up spills, condensation and other sources of moisture.
Thoroughly dry any wet surfaces or material. Do not let water pool or
stand in the motorhome. Promptly replace materials that cannot be
thoroughly dried.
5. Inspect for leaks on a regular basis. Look for discolorations or wet
spots. Repair leaks promptly. Inspect condensation pans (refrigerators
and air conditions) for mold growth. Take notice of musty odors and
visible signs of mold.
6. Should mold develop, thoroughly clean the affected area with a mild
solution of bleach. First, test to see if the affected material or surface
is color safe. Should the mold growth be severe, call on the services
of a qualified professional cleaner.
7. If materials with mold on them cannot be cleaned, they should be
removed and properly disposed.
Whether or not a motorhome owner experiences mold growth depends largely
on how the motorhome is managed and maintained. As a manufacturer, our
responsibility is limited to things that we can control. As explained in the written
warranty, we will repair or replace defects in the construction (defects defined as
a failure to comply with reasonable standards of motorhome construction) for
the Limited Warranty coverage period provided.

THAT MAY BE THE CONSEQUENCE OF OR ASSOCIATED WITH
DEFECTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION.
