DIAMOND SHIELD PAINT PROTECTION
If your coach utilizes a Diamond Shield Paint Protector, follow the use and care guidelines as outlined by Diamond
Shield:
1
IMPORTANT
Once applied, refrain from washing for 48 hours, washing after that time presents no problems. Do NOT use
harsh or abrasive cleaners or detergents.
"We do not recommend ANY of the dry wash types of cleaners as they are intended for non-porous surfaces, paint
protection films are a porous material. Car wash type soap is recommended. Bugs should be washed off ASAP...
Use extreme care if using a pressure washer, too high of a pressure or misuse of pressure washer may cut or tear the
film. Pressure washer damage is NOT covered by Diamond Shield's warranty. The application of ANY products over
Diamond Shield i.e. vinyl bras, banners, etc. will void the Diamond Shield warranty... Prior to putting coach/vehicle in
storage Diamond Shield should be cleaned and waxed... Do not use wax designed for specific colors."
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. Inspection of roof seams and joints should
be performed by an Authorized Newmar Service Center annually.
For improved lighting and headroom, a skylight may also be installed in the bathroom over the shower. The opening
provides additional light during daylight hours, and the skylight is tinted to provide privacy and reduce glare.
For units 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. 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.
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.
SIDING
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.
SEALS
The seals around doors, windows, vents, slide out trim and external seams should be checked at least twice a year. In
addition, the roof seams should be inspected twice a year for cracking or peeling. If deterioration is noted during a
routine maintenance inspection, reseal the seams or seals with an approved sealant to prevent leaks. Your dealer can
perform the resealing inspections and work for you. It is recommended that a Newmar Authorized Service Center
perform these inspections, and reseal when necessary.
MAINTENANCE
Clean the fiberglass material with a mild cleanser and warm water. Use only soft cloths. Using stiff bristle brushes may
cause scratches in the fiberglass surface. Please refer to the information provided by the paint manufacturer for more
cleaning and maintenance details.
