Roof and Sidewalls Overview and Maintenance
Paint, Roof, and Siding
Newmar is not responsible for weathering/oxidation
of gel-coated surfaces.
IMPORTANT
!
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 sti
ff
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.
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.
For diesel pusher coaches equipped with roof drains,
it is important to make sure the roof drain catch basin
strainers are cleaned and kept free of debris. There
are four (4) of them, and they are located at the front
and rear ends of the roof gutters, on both the left and
right sides. They may be covered by the roof-mounted
awnings. The drains can be blown out using compressed
air (approximately 60 PSI) from the drain pipes found
under the front and rear caps. There are typically two
drain pipes on the passenger side of the rear cap and
one on each side of the front cap.
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.
For Super C coaches, the rear drain pipes are located
on the passenger side under the rear cap, and the front
drain pipes are located on the driver and passenger
sides under the coach near the junction of the cab and
coach body.
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.
HEAT
The red switch located near the mirror adjustment control
operates the mirror heat (if equipped). The ignition switch
must be on for the mirror heat switch to operate.
