Exterior Roof and Sidewall Vents
Inspect the roof vents (including sealants) for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the re-
frigerator and holding tank vents for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. All
exterior access doors and vents need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect
nests, mud daubers, etc.) while the appliances are in use.
Windows
Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially during heavy rainstorms. Con-
densation will also cause water to accumulate on windows and in the tracks.
The window “glass” can normally be cleaned with a sponge and water. Use glass cleaner to
remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
Sealants
Sealants perform a very important function and should be inspected closely and regularly
maintained. We incorporate many different types of sealants, including butyl/putty, black
butyl-encapsulated foam, silicone (clear and colored), roof sealant and foam. In general,
sealants do not have “set” lifetimes. Varying environmental factors affect the pliability and
adhesiveness of sealants.
You or your dealer must:

Inspect all sealants, a minimum of every six months. Make sure to check the roof
and all four sides of the recreation vehicle including al moldings, doors, vents and
exterior attachments. A quick walk around the recreation vehicle before leaving
may help prevent potential problems during trips and vacations.

Have the sealant replaced if you notice any cracks, peeling, voids, gaps, breaks,
looseness or any sign of physical deterioration. Reseal at least one time each year
as preventative maintenance.

Always use the same type of sealant that was removed. Your dealer recreation
vehicle service or parts manager can help you obtain the correct sealant(s).
The sealants may become damaged due to road vibration, ultraviolet exposure, air pollution,
freezing temperatures and exposure to other elements. If deteriorated, repair immediately
to prevent damage.
If you notice water inside the recreation vehicle, immediately have the dealer check for the
source of the leak. Failure to correct the leak may result in serious damage to your recreation
vehicle; this damage may not be warrantable.
Although the following diagrams may not accurately reflect the exact model of your recre
-
ation vehicle, make sure you inspect all sealants as indicated in the text. If you have ques-
tions and/or need assistance with sealing your recreation vehicle, consult with your recre-
ation vehicle dealer.
Failure to properly maintain or reseal your recreation vehicle may result in
serious water damage to the roof and other parts of the recreation vehicle. This
damage is not covered by the
Towable Limited Warranty.
