Exterior Care and Maintenance
Roof
The roof is manufactured with a bowed
aluminum frame and constructed using a
laminated ‘sandwich’ method. It is strong
enough to support the weight of an average
adult if it becomes necessary to repair the roof
or any of the roof mounted components. Avoid
carrying large, heavy objects onto the roof. The
additional strain of the weight along with the
movement of the vehicle could cause damage
to the roof. Check the roof regularly for possible
leaks, especially the sealant around the vents,
air conditioners, body-to-roof seams, etc.
Immediately repair any suspected leaks. Any
leakage could result in damage to the interior
of the motorhome.
Underbody
Mud and dirt mixed with corrosive materials
used to control dust or ice on the roads can
accumulate underneath your motorhome and
cause premature deterioration and rusting. In
addition, any build up will add unnecessary
weight to the motorhome. Rinse and flush the
undercarriage and the entire underbody every
time you wash the motorhome.
Washing, Waxing, and Polishing
Damaging salts, calcium chloride, road tar, tree
sap, insects, and other foreign material can
accumulate on the body of your motorhome.
To reduce the harmful effects of these agents,
wash the motorhome frequently and thoroughly
using mild soap and warm water. Do not wash
the exterior in direct sunlight and never use hot
water. Avoid using pressure washers because
they can loosen decals and sealants. Regularly
wax your RV to reduce the negative effects of
UV exposure on the exterior fiberglass parts.
Carefully inspect all caulking around windows,
doors, vents, and all other joints. Re-caulk if
necessary using the correct caulking material
available from your Leisure Travel Vans dealer.
If water fails to bead on the surface of the
motorhome, it is time to polish and wax it.
This will not only improve the appearance
of your motorhome, but will also protect the
painted surfaces from oxidation and corrosion
making it easier to wash.
NOTICE
These instructions are provided as a general
guideline only and may not be complete. To
ensure proper service and safety, always
take your motorhome to an authorized
Leisure Travel Vans dealer service center.
Stripes and Decals
Follow these steps for the care and maintenance
of your motorhome’s stripes and decals:
● Wash with mild soap and warm water, and
rinse thoroughly.
● Never wash using a high-pressure washer
at close range. The force of the water can
lift the edges of decals.
● Do not use solvents. They can smear the
colors and damage the adhesive.
● Never use lacquer thinner or paint on
decals.
● Avoid splashing gasoline or diesel fuel on
stripes and decals, and rinse immediately if
splashing occurs.
Exterior Lighting
Before each trip, inspect all clearance lights,
identification lights, marker lights, stop lights,
turn signal lights, and backup lights. Immediately
replace burned out bulbs. Use soap and water
to keep all light lenses clean.
