SECTION 9
STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
95
Depending
upon your area and where your
RV is stored, your vehicle may be a target for
damage from rodents and insects. To protect
your RV, never leave food inside and ensure
that all surfaces are clean. Place rodent
control products in the unit during periods of
storage. Mice and other rodents can do a
tremendous amount of damage to the drapes,
cushions, etc., particularly during the winter
months.
Storing your RV in a field can make it
particularly inviting. Periodically inspect it
during storage and seal off any areas that can
offer an entry point to rodents or insects.
Remember to remove any screens or tape
used to seal openings before using the RV
again.
Damage from rodents or insects is not
warrantable
.
When storing your RV, it is recommended that
the auxiliary battery (customer supplied) be
disconnected to avoid battery discharge.

ORMALDEHYDE
The RV industry uses many products
including carpeting, paneling, shelving,
plywood, draperies, and fabrics that may have
used formaldehyde in the process of making
those products. Other airborne pollutants
including campfires, cigarettes and cigarette
byproducts, cooking and carbon monoxide
often have a higher concentration of
formaldehyde than an RV. Air pollutants can
be an irritant.
When an RV is closed up for a period of time,
it is possible for a process of outgassing to
occur which can draw irritants into the air. So
it is very important to properly ventilate your
RV to remove the outgassing. This is more
prevalent in new RV’s as they release
moisture from construction materials through
several heating and cooling sessions until
dissipated.
Areas of high heat and humidity will increase
the outgassing process. Ventilate by opening
all the windows, and circulate the air with an
oscillating fan. Remember ventilation is
imperative at all times in close quarters, not
only for indoor air quality, but also for proper
function of appliances and elimination of
condensation.

To keep the value of your RV, perform regular
maintenance using the proper materials and
procedures. Use only those materials and
procedures that comply with all local
environmental pollution control regulations.
Carefully select the materials to be sure that
they do not contain corrosives.
Make sure you have selected the right
cleaning agent before you begin the cleaning
process. If in doubt, check to see if the
cleaner will cause damage by testing a small
area out of sight or contact your dealer for
assistance. Follow the instructions provided
by the cleaning product manufacturer.
Do not use the following chemicals to clean
your RV; these can all be dangerous, and can
damage your RV:
•
Acetone
•
Benzine
•
Carbon tetrachloride
•
Gasoline
•
Lacquer thinner

Cleaning materials can be dangerous.
Some are poisonous. Others are highly
flammable. Some are dangerous if you
breathe their fumes in a closed space.
Always open your RV doors and windows
when you are cleaning inside.
Always use
the appropriate safety equipment. Never
mix cleaning products. They may
interact with damaging or hazardous
results.
