Inspect black water tank vent and remove any debris or other obstructions. The black water tank vent is on the roof,
passenger side, in the bathroom area.
Clean air conditioner filter. See air conditioner manual for details.
Thoroughly clean and wax the roof of the van. To wash the solar panel, use a garden hose to rinse dirt off the panel. Do not
scrub it with a brush or otherwise apply any abrasive material to the solar panel surface. Rinsing the panel two or three times
a year to remove excess dirt is all you need to do to keep the panel operating at full output.
Inspect the Alde coolant reservoir under the bathroom sink. Fill with VW GS12++ fluid if required.
At Least Once a Year
Lubricate all door hinges, locks and latches, especially the exposed hinges on exterior doors. These will freeze up and cause
damage to the doors if neglected.
Have appliances tested and cleaned.
Wax & polish and protect exterior surfaces. The wheels are coated aluminum - there is no bare aluminum on the vehicle, so
do not use aluminum polish on any surface of your Roadtrek. The wheel center caps are chrome.
Do not use a power washer to clean your Roadtrek - damage to the paint, removal of decals, and water leaks will result. Hand
washing or commercial car washes accommodating large vehicles are the best way to keep your Roadtrek clean and shiny.
