Industrial Fallout / Acid Rain /Pollution
UV Exposure and Moisture
The most common problems resulting from these conditions are corrosion,
staining, and chemical spotting. Generally, the longer the foreign material remains
in contact with the exterior finish, the more extensive the damage. These
problems can be minimized by regularly scheduled washing and polishing. Wash
your RV as soon as possible if it becomes contaminated with foreign material.
Avoid parking under trees or near ocean sea salt. Ice or snow should not be
scraped from the painted surface: Brush off!
Anti-freeze, gasoline or washer solvents if spilled on the painted surface should be
rinsed off with water immediately. Bugs and bird droppings should be rinsed off
daily.
We recommend that you do not take your RV through automatic car washes.
Extreme caution should be used if utilizing any type of pressure sprayer around all
attachments, doors, windows, appliance vents, etc. Avoid forcing water inside the
RV, which could possibly damage component parts.
Some types of hot water washing equipment apply high pressure and heat to the
RV. They may cause heat distortion and damage to the resin parts and may flood
the RV's interior. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
1. Keep the washing nozzle about 16 inches (40 cm) or more away from the RV
body.
2. When washing around the door, vent and glass areas, hold the nozzle at right
angles to the surface.
Depending on your model, the exterior is constructed of aluminum or fiberglass.
Refer to the general instructions that follow for care information.
Washing
Chemicals contained in dirt and dust picked up from the road surface can cause
damage if left on the RV for a long time. Frequent washing and waxing is the best
way to protect your RV from this damage. Frequent washings also protect your
RV from environmental elements, such as rain, snow and salt air.
Do not wash the RV when it is in direct sunlight. Park the RV in the shade and
spray it with water to remove dust. Next, using an ample amount of clean water
and a car-washing mitt or sponge, wash the RV from top to bottom.
Use a mild car-washing soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a
chamois or soft cloth.
Carefully clean the joints and flanges of the slideout (if so equipped), doors, hood,
etc., where dirt is likely to remain.
Some types of hot water washing equipment apply high pressure and heat to the
RV. They may cause heat distortion and damage to the resin parts and may flood
the RV's interior. Therefore, be sure to observe the following:
1. Keep the washing nozzle about 16 inches (40 cm) or more away from the RV
body.
2. When washing around the glass areas, hold the nozzle at right angles to the
glass surface.
During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals that are spread on winter roads in some geographical
areas can have a detrimental effect on the RV's underbody. If your RV is exposed
to these conditions, spray the underbody with a high-pressure hose every time you
wash the exterior of your RV.
