Damaged paint
To prevent corrosion, touch up small cracks and scratches in the paint coat as soon as pos-
sible with touch-up film or paint. Carefully check the body areas facing the road and the
tires for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc. Use the closest automotive
paint (available locally) match possible when touch-up paint is needed.
Cleaning plastic parts
Use a sponge or chamois to clean plastic parts. Use warm water and a soft cloth or chamois
to remove any white residue from dark colored plastic surfaces. Do not use a scrubbing
brush, other hard tools, or wax containing abrasives as they may damage the plastic surface.
Chrome parts
To prevent chrome parts from spotting or corroding, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and
apply a non-abrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a
commercially available chrome polish product.
Do not allow plastic to come into contact with brake fluid, engine oil, grease,
paint thinner, or battery acid. These will damage plastic. Use a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution to wipe away any such contact.
Frame
Frames receive heavy abuse from road conditions such as sand, pebbles, objects in the high-
way, and/or ice inhibiting chemicals, all of which will cause chipping and a blasting effect on
the painted surface. Frames will show signs of rust much sooner when exposed to salty air.
Periodically rinse off the frame (or as use requires) removing road grime, tar, oil, mud or salt.
Refer to your Chassis Guide for the chassis manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
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.
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 motorhome, keep windows closed when
the chassis or generator engines are running.
