MOTORHOME MAINTENANCE
EXTERIOR AND ROOF
Please see separate chassis owner’s manual for specific
details on maintenance and care instructions for the
exterior of the motorhome.
The roof is strong enough to support the weight of an
average adult if it becomes necessary to repair the roof
or any of the roof mounted components.
Avoid carrying large, heavy objects onto the roof. The
additional strain of the weight along with the movement
of the vehicle could cause damage to the roof.
Check the roof regularly for possible leaks, especially the
sealant around the vents, air conditioners, body-to-roof
seams, etc.
Immediately repair any suspected leaks. Any leakage
could result in damage to the interior of the motorhome.
Underbody
Mud and dirt mixed with corrosive materials used to
control dust or ice on the roads can accumulate
underneath your motorhome and cause premature
deterioration and rusting.
In addition, any build up will add unnecessary weight to
the motorhome.
Rinse and flush the undercarriage and the entire
underbody every time you wash the motorhome.
Washing, Waxing and Polishing
Damaging salts, calcium chloride, road tar, tree sap,
insects and other foreign material can accumulate on the
body of your motorhome.
To reduce the harmful effects of these agents, wash the
motorhome frequently and thoroughly using mild soap
and warm water.
Do not wash the exterior in direct sunlight and never use
hot water.
Avoid using pressure washers because they can loosen
decals and sealants.
Regularly wax your RV to reduce the negative effects of
UV exposure on the exterior fiberglass parts.
Carefully inspect all caulking around windows, doors,
vents, and all other joints. Re-caulk if necessary, using the
correct caulking material available from your Regency RV
dealer.
If water fails to bead on the surface of the motorhome, it
is time to polish and wax it.
This will not only improve the appearance of your
motorhome, but will also protect the painted surfaces
from oxidation and corrosion making it easier to wash.
Stripes and Decals
Follow these steps for the care and maintenance of your
motorhome’s stripes and decals:
o
Wash with mild soap and warm water and rinse
thoroughly.
o
Never wash using a high-pressure washer at close
range. The force of the water can lift the edge of the
decals.
o
Do not use solvents. They can smear the colors and
damage the adhesive.
o
Never use lacquer thinner or paint on decals.
o
Avoid splashing gasoline or diesel fuel on stripes and
decals and rinse immediately if splashing occurs.
Exterior Lighting
o
Before each trip, inspect all clearance lights,
identification lights, marker lights, stop lights, turn
signal lights and backup lights.
o
Immediately replace any burned out bulbs.
o
Use soap and water to keep all light lenses clean.
