Care and Maintenance
Keeping your windshield clean will provide optimum
visibility to view the road ahead. Should you encounter
rock chips or cracks, have them fixed by an automotive
glass professional immediately to avoid costly windshield
replacement. If the crack spreads, replacement may be
necessary.
Windshield Maintenance and Replacement
Proper care and maintenance of your windshield is critical to maintain good visibility and safe operation of the coach.
Damage may occur to your unit if excessive condensation
exists. This problem can be controlled by:
1. Slightly opening a window or roof vent to allow the
moisture to escape from the unit.
2. A small dehumidifier is also very effective in removing
moisture from the air.
Windshield Replacement
When replacing a windshield, Newmar highly
recommends purchasing the new windshield through
the Newmar Parts department to ensure proper
windshield fit. Customers and dealers have experienced
many size and installation issues when attempting
to use aftermarket windshields. If your windshield
needs replaced, make sure that your dealer or glass
replacement company purchases the replacement
windshield directly from Newmar.
Since surface condensation within the coach cannot
be controlled by the manufacturer, damage caused by
condensation is not covered by your Newmar Limited
Warranty.
IMPORTANT
!
Newmar Corporation does not recommend the use of
any catalytic heaters.
IMPORTANT
!
Condensation levels are highest during times when a
person is cooking or taking a shower in the unit, but
these are not the only times condensation is present.
Condensation can migrate through ceiling panels and
saturate the fiberglass insulation in your ceiling cavity.
This condition often causes the occupants to believe
the recreational vehicle has a roof leak. Walls and
ceiling panels may also become wet when the moisture
accumulates on these surfaces.
CAUTION
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers with damaged blades, as they may cause damage to the glass. Damage to
glass by rocks, damaged wipers, or other foreign objects are not warrantable repairs.
Check the windshield washer fluid level prior to each trip,
and top off the fluid reservoir as needed.
WARNING
!
Replace your windshield wiper blades when they
become worn or damaged. Worn or damaged wiper
blades may cause damage to the windshield, as well
as interfere with the driver’s ability, possibly resulting
in a crash leading to injury or death.
Worn, damaged, or split rubber around the wiping
edge is generally caused by age and use, but may be
due to the effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays on the
rubber. Damage may also be caused by ice scrapers,
automatic car washes, or vandalism. Damage to glass by
rocks, damaged wipers, or other foreign objects are not
warrantable repairs.
Proper care and maintenance of your wiper blades is
critical to maintain good visibility and safe operation of
the coach. Clean the rubber element every time you fill
your gas tank, and remove loose dirt and road grime
from the windshield. When washing your coach, use a
small amount of non-abrasive glass cleaner on a wet
sponge to clean both the windshield and the rubber
wiping elements. In colder climates, use an ice scraper
to remove snow and ice. Using your wipers to de-ice
your windshield can damage the blades, as well as the
arm and wiper motor.
Streaking, chattering, and worn blades may be caused
by dry rubber that has hardened and cracked. Streaking
can also be caused by oil, tree sap, road tar, or other
foreign substances on the blade rubber or windshield.
Chattering sounds as the blade passes across the
windshield are caused by the “deformity” or “curve” in
the rubber that some wiper blades develop over time.
