Roof and Sidewalls Overview and Maintenance
This article provides a basic overview and maintenance of the roof and sidewalls.
Paint, Roof, and Siding
Sidewalls
Newmar RV sidewalls are designed with structure to
make them more rigid and dependable. By building
aluminum frames with studs 16 inches on center, your
sidewalls and roof will form a strong, lightweight,
integrated structure so you can enjoy superior
insulation. The sidewalls and end caps of your coach are
constructed of smooth fiberglass, which is features an
automotive style “Clear-Coat / Color Coat” painted finish.
SIDEWALLS MAINTENANCE
This article provides a basic overview and maintenance
of the roof and sidewalls. Clean any unpainted fiberglass
material with a mild cleanser and warm water. Use
only soft cloths. Using stiff bristle brushes may cause
scratches in the fiberglass surface.
EXTERIOR PAINT MAINTENANCE
For cleaning and waxing instructions and recommended
products, refer to the Miscellaneous Care and
Maintenance section in Newgle. Paint codes are typically
posted on the back side of one of the upper kitchen
cabinet doors.
Newmar is not responsible for weathering/oxidation
of gel-coated surfaces.
IMPORTANT
!
Roof
This unit is manufactured with a 7mm decking material
covered with fiberglass or rubber membrane. Proper
care and routine maintenance of your roof is necessary
for trouble-free performance. Frequent inspection (at
least annually) of roof drains, seams, and joints should
be performed by an Newmar Authorized Service Center.
ROOF MAINTENANCE
Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to insuring
a long, trouble-free life. Before cleaning, it is important
that you inspect the sealants and gaskets used to seal
components to the roof structure to be certain there is
no leakage during the cleaning process. Any cracks or
voids in the sealants and seals MUST be repaired prior to
spraying the roof with water. Extreme caution should be
used when inspecting or cleaning the roof.
For information about cleaning your roof drains and gutters,
refer to the Roof Drains article in Newgle.
NOTE FROM NEWMAR
WARNING
!
It is recommended that access, cleaning, and
maintenance be conducted by a qualified
professional at your local dealership. Use caution if
working on top of your vehicle. The wet roof surface
is extremely slippery.
If inspection and/or maintenance becomes necessary,
stay on the main roof area. Do not walk or stand on
the raised portions of the roof or the gutter rail area (if
applicable). Do not exceed 300 pounds on the roof.
Do not place items on the roof for transportation. The
roof was not designed to support the transportation
of luggage or other items.
NOTICE
!
This article provides basic care and maintenance information for a rubber roof. Proper care and routine maintenance of
your roof is necessary for trouble-free performance. A ladder may be installed on your coach to assist you in gaining access
to the roof for the sole purpose of routine inspections and maintenance.
Rubber Roof Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance of your recreational vehicle,
including your rubber roof, is important for trouble-free
performance. Normal maintenance is simple and easy,
and does not require special materials. Keep the roof
clean. Clean the roof at least four (4) times annually.
1. For normal cleaning, use RC100 Decor Synthetic
Roof & General Purpose cleaner or a mild laundry
detergent.
2. Rinse the complete roof with clean water to remove
any loose dirt or debris.
CAUTION
!
Do not use general purpose cleaners or conditioners
containing petroleum solvents, harsh abrasives or
citric-based cleaners. You may cause irreparable
damage to your roof.
