STARCRAFT CAMPING TRAILERS
SECTION 13 – EXTERIOR

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, wipe off all water drops from the rubber parts
around the slideout and doors.
If the slideout or door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or crack the rubber
gasket that is installed around the slideout or door. Pour warm water on the gasket
to melt the ice (wipe off the water thoroughly after opening the slideout or door).
To prevent the weather stripping from freezing, treat it with a silicone spray.
Waxing your RV
Wax your RV once or twice a year, or when painted surfaces do not shed water
well. Use a soft cloth to apply a small amount of wax to the painted surfaces. After
the wax has dried, polish the RV with a dry, soft cloth.
Do not wax your RV in direct sunlight. Wax it after the surfaces have cooled. Do
not apply wax to any area having a flat black finish as it can cause discoloration.
If the finish has been stained with wax, wipe off the area with a soft cloth and
warm water.
When waxing the area around the various openings, do not apply any wax on the
weatherstrip. If it is stained with wax, the weatherstrip cannot maintain a
weatherproof seal around the opening.
Polishing your RV
If painted surfaces have been severely damaged and have lost their original luster
and color tone, polish the surface lightly with a fine polishing compound. Avoid
limiting your polishing to the damaged surface only; polish a somewhat wider area,
moving the polishing cloth in one direction. After polishing, flush the compound
from the surface and apply a coat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.
