Chapter 6
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
EXTERIOR
#
CAUTION: We recommend that you do not take your recreation vehicle through automatic
car washes and extreme caution must be used if utilizing any type of pressure sprayer around
all attachments, doors, windows, appliance vents, etc. to avoid forcing water inside the
vehicle, possibly damaging components.
Roof
The roof of your motorhome is covered with TPO roofing material. The proper care, cleaning and
maintenance of your TPO Roofing is quite simple because of the basic properties and longevity of
the material itself.
Periodic cleaning is the primary maintenance. Alpha Systems suggest using Murphy
®
Oil Soap
with a soft nylon brush or sponge. DO NOT USE solid or granulated cleaners, as they will mar the
natural finish.
DO NOT USE Armor All
®
or other oil/solvent base cleaners as they will leave a slick surface.
A good thorough cleaning with some elbow grease and the suggestions above should keep your
roof looking good and remove most stains. For more stubborn stains, you should contact your
authorized dealer.
If you keep your Royal Tuff-Ply™ TPO roof clean, you will be performing the primary
maintenance necessary to keep it looking good and extend its longevity.
Annual inspection of the roof is suggested. Check the membrane for possible damage and check
the caulk/lap sealant used in all termination areas and around all accessories and fasteners.
Royal Tuff-Ply™ is UV resistant. It will not retain odors or rot.
#
CAUTION: All roofs require maintenance. At least twice a year, inspect and reseal all
seams: front and rear, around all vents, and along all moldings. If you notice any
deterioration in the seal, scrape off any cracked, lifting or loose sealant and reseal the area.
Contact your dealer for the appropriate sealant to use.
Fiberglass Sidewalls
Fiberglass walls are very durable and are easy to maintain. To keep them looking nice, wax and
buff them once a year. Standard automotive cleaning soaps and waxes work well for general
cleaning and maintenance. Special cleaners and waxes are available at automotive and RV stores.
Scratches and chips can be easily fixed by an experienced fiberglass repair shop. Any major
damage should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent cracks from becoming larger.
