CARE AND MAINTENANCE
EXTERIOR
I
CAUTION: We do not recommend you take your recreation vehicle through automatic car
washes and extreme caution should 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 slicksurface.
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. Checkthe membrane for possible damage and checkthe
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.
I
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 workwell 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.
