Care and Maintenance of the Trailer
Protection of Finishes
Paint
The paint coatings on your trailer are no different to that of your car in that they need regular care and maintenance.
Rubber seals and applied sealants on trailers can shed polymers and pigments that can stain paint finishes if your trailer
isn’t washed regularly.
Washing: Only use mild detergents free of ammonia when washing your trailer. Always check the label to ensure the
washing solution is nonabrasive, contains no ammonia or caustics.
Polishing: New trailers should only be polished with wax-based polishes that are nonabrasive. When removing
scratches from paintwork use a fine finishing compound. Cutting pastes are too abrasive and will expose the base
material.
Protection: Carnauba wax is an excellent protection against oxidization. The paint on your trailer should be waxed
annually regardless of being kept under cover to protect the surfaces from oxidization.
Internal Finishes
Laminates and internal wall surfaces should be cleaned with a damp soft cloth. For stubborn marks use a mild detergent
based cleaner.
**Do not use cleaners that contain ammonia or caustics**
Ensuite Finishes
Never use harsh detergents or bleach based products on the toilet or sealants in the ensuite. Use of such products will
damage the seals and sealants.
Galvanized Finishes
Your galvanized chassis will need maintenance when used off road. The zinc coating although being tough is still
susceptible to damage from stones chips to the coating should be maintained using a zinc rich coating.
High Tensile Bolt and Fittings
Zinc plated bolts and fittings should be coated with a protectant such as a lanolin based spray. The proprietary item
“Lanotec” is recommended.
Stainless Steel
Do not use abrasive cleaners on stainless steel. Purpose made stainless steel cleaners are recommended as are solutions
such as 10% white vinegar in water.
Fabrics
Fabrics may not be colorfast and should be washed gently by hand on their own or dry cleaned.
Corrosion Protection
Reasonable steps should be made by the customer to protect the product from corrosion. Seaside areas, areas with
high salt contents in soil and roads that are salted during snow conditions can greatly accelerate corrosion. When used
in these areas the product should be thoroughly washed after use and unpainted metal surfaces should be coated in a
suitable protectant. Lanotec lanolin spray, Inox or similar are recommended.
Winterizing the Trailer
1. Fully drain all water in system, including hot water appliance and storage tanks.
2. Pour 4 gallons of drinking water safe, non-toxic antifreeze into the water tank.
3. Run each tap, both hot and cold until antifreeze is through.
Post Winter
1. Drain all antifreeze from tanks and lines.
2. Flush system thoroughly to remove all residue of antifreeze.
