The rear bumper of your RV is not designed
to carry cargo. Items that extend beyond the
bumper OR weigh over 100 lbs. (45kg) will
place undo strain on the bumper. The 100 lb.
bumper capacity includes the weight of the
spare tire that may have been attached at the
factory.
Some items may fall within the given weight
range, however, can still cause damage. Over
time, weight added to the bumper will cause
damage from the motion created while
traveling. In addition, extra weight behind the
axle may reduce the hitch weight (leading to
adverse handling conditions from wind gusts
and/or passing traffic).

The rubber roof on your RV is manufactured

Your RV may be equipped with an optional

the rubber roof membrane to allow you to
walk on the roof (with caution) to do
maintenance.

EALANTS
Water is a RV’s worst enemy when it is
allowed to enter where it is not intended.
Sealants perform a very important function;
they must be inspected closely and be
regularly maintained.
We incorporate many different types of
sealants, including butyl/putty, black butyl-
encapsulated foam, silicone (clear and
colored), roof sealant, foam, etc.
In general, sealants do not have “set”
lifetimes. Varying environmental factors affect
the pliability and adhesiveness of sealants.
Sealants can be affected by ultraviolet
exposure, air pollution, extreme temperatures
and exposure to other elements. Conditions
such as rain, salt, dust and pollution may
increase the need to maintain your RV’s
sealants. Checking the sealants is considered
customer maintenance.
It is recommended that you or your dealer
inspect all sealants a minimum of every six
months. Make sure to check the roof and all
four sides of the RV including all moldings,
windows, doors, vents and exterior
attachments. Reseal as necessary and at
least one time each year as preventative
maintenance.

Failure to properly maintain or reseal your
RV may result in serious water damage to
the roof and other parts of the RV. This
damage is not covered by the
Towable
Limited Warranty .
To check the exterior sidewall sealants,
use a stepladder placed safely beside the
RV. Do not prop a ladder against the body
of the RV as it may damage the finish.
If your RV is equipped with a roof ladder,
do not leave items attached to it while
traveling. The ladder has a weight limit of
350# when using it to access the roof. DO
NOT exceed this weight limit.
