Section 13: Exterior
Windows
Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially during heavy rainstorms or
while driving. This is normal and water should only be seen in the lower track portion of the
window frame. Condensation will also cause water to accumulate on windows and in the
tracks. Ensure that the escape window latches are properly adjusted (the window will pop
open if not adjusted tight enough).
Window glass
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.
To avoid exhaust gas entry into the motor home, keep windows closed when
the chassis or generator engines are running.
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

Failure to properly maintain or reseal your recreation vehicle may result
in serious water damage to the roof and other parts of the recreation ve-
hicle. This damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty.

To check the exterior sidewall sealants, use a stepladder placed safely
alongside the vehicle. Do not prop a ladder against the body of the RV as
it may damage the exterior finish.
Exterior Roof and Sidewall Vents
Inspect the roof vents, including sealants for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the refrig-
erator 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.
The mud flap(s) should never be tilted towards the exhaust pipe when the
motor home is not in motion or when the motor home is moving in reverse.
Caution should be used when parking the motor home to assure the mud flap
does not become caught or hung up on stationary items on the ground. This
could result in damage to the mud flap(s).
