Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off.
Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb with
your bare fingers. The skin oil left on the glass
will evaporate when the bulb gets hot, the
vapor will condense on the reflector and it will
dim the surface. Replace a bulb only with a
new bulb of the same rating and type.

To protect your RV’s exterior finish, wash it
often and thoroughly. The exterior can be
affected by ultra-violet exposure; yellowing or
fading may occur. Regular cleaning and
waxing will help protect the exterior. If chalking
occurs, wash and try to wax a small area to
see if the luster returns. If the exterior
becomes scratched, nicked or cracked have
your dealer inspect the RV; check with your
insurance agent to see if this damage is
covered under your policy (if applicable).
Depending on your model, the exterior is
constructed of aluminum or fiberglass. Refer
to the general instructions that follow for care
information. We recommend that you do not
take your RV through automatic car washes.
Extreme caution should be used if utilizing any
type
of
pressure
sprayer
around
all
attachments,
doors,
windows,
appliance
vents, etc. Avoid forcing water inside the RV,
which could possibly damage component
parts.
Foreign material
Industrial fall out, road tar, bird droppings, tree
sap, insect remains, seawater and other
foreign materials can damage the finish of your
RV. Generally, the longer the foreign material
remains in contact with the exterior finish, the
more extensive the damage. Wash your RV as
soon as possible if it becomes contaminated
with foreign material.
Washing
Chemicals contained in dirt and dust picked up
from the road surface can cause damage if left
on the RV for a long time. Frequent washing
and waxing is the best way to protect your RV
from this damage. Frequent washings also
protect your RV from environmental elements,
such as rain, snow and salt air.
Do not wash the RV when it is in direct
sunlight. Park the RV in the shade and spray it
with water to remove dust. Next, using an
ample
amount
of
clean
water
and
a
car-washing mitt or sponge, wash the RV from
top to bottom. Use a mild car-washing soap if
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with
a chamois or soft cloth. Carefully clean the
joints and flanges of the slideout (if so
equipped), doors, hood, etc., where dirt is
likely to remain.
Some types of hot water washing equipment
apply high pressure and heat to the RV. They
may cause heat distortion and damage to the
resin parts and may flood the RV’s interior.
Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
1. Keep the washing nozzle about 16 inches
(40 cm) or more away from the RV body.
2. When washing around the glass areas,
hold the nozzle at right angles to the glass
surface.
During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals that are spread on
winter roads in some geographical areas can
have
a
detrimental
effect
on
the
RV’s
underbody. If your RV is exposed to these
conditions,
spray the underbody with a
high-pressure hose every time you wash the
exterior of your RV. Take special care to
remove mud or other debris that could trap and
hold salt or moisture. After washing your RV,

STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
When washing the RV, wear a pair of
rubber gloves to protect your hands. Avoid
spraying
or
splashing
water
on
the
electrical components. Avoid using car
washers that use rotating brushes. This
type of washer may cause scratches on the
RV exterior.
