SECTION 12
STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
S
EALANTS
Water is a RV’s worst enemy when it enters
where it is not intended. Sealants perform a
very important function; they must be
inspected closely and be regularly
maintained.
We incorporate many different types of
sealants, including butyl/putty, black butyl-
encapsulated foam, silicone (clear and
colored), roof sealant, foam, etc. In general,
sealants do not have “set” lifetimes. Varying
environmental factors affect the pliability and
adhesiveness of sealants.
Sealants can be affected by ultraviolet
exposure, air pollution, extreme temperatures
and exposure to other elements. Conditions
such as rain, salt, dust and pollution may
increase the need to maintain your RV’s
sealants. Checking the sealants is considered
customer maintenance.
It is recommended that you or your dealer
Inspect all sealants a minimum of every six
months. Make sure to check the roof and all
four sides of the RV including all moldings,
windows, doors, vents and exterior
attachments. Reseal as necessary and at
least one time each year as preventative
maintenance.
Replace sealant and cap seal if you notice
any cracks, gaps, lifting, looseness,
peeling, shrinkage, voids or any sign of
physical deterioration. Complete your
repairs immediately to prevent damage to
your RV.
Always use the same type of sealant
originally used to build your RV. Consult
your dealer for assistance with the proper
sealant(s) to use on the specific area(s) of
your RV.
If you notice water inside the RV,
immediately have the dealer check for the
source of the leak. Failure to correct the
leak may result in serious damage to your
RV; this damage may not be warrantable.
Although the diagrams below may not
accurately reflect the exact model of your RV,
make sure you inspect all sealants as
indicated in the text. If you have questions
Failure to properly maintain or reseal your
RV may result in serious water damage to
the roof and other parts of the RV. This
damage is not covered by the
Towable
Limited Warranty
.
If your RV is equipped with a roof ladder,
do not leave items attached to it while
traveling. The ladder has a weight limit of
350# when using it to access the roof. DO
NOT exceed this weight limit.
To check the exterior sidewall sealants,
use a stepladder placed safely beside the
RV. Do not prop a ladder against the body
of the RV as it may damage the finish.
