Propane Gas appliances and Equipment
Follow the instructions and warning noted in the appliance and equipment owner’s manual as well as the ones
listed below:
• Annual maintenance should be conducted on the Propane Gas appliances and equipment by
an authorized dealer or repair facility.
• Insects can build nests in the burners of the various appliances and equipment. The burner
and burner orifice of the Propane Gas appliances and equipment should be cleaned out by an
authorized dealer or repair facility anytime circumstances or conditions warrant, but no less
frequently than on an annual basis.
PRE-FINISHED PANELS AND WOOD SURFACES
Treat cabinetry and wood surfaces as you would any fine furniture product in your home. Proper care and
maintenance of wood products will keep them looking like new for many seasons of use.
Clean pre-finished panels with a spray-type furniture polish. Avoid getting wood surfaces wet. Wipe off and dry
immediately if this occurs. Do not use abrasive cleansers around wood finishes. Clean regularly with a soft
cloth and cleaner designed for wood products such as lemon oil or any oil based wood cleaning product. Avoid
constant exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading and drying of wood surfaces.
WATER SYSTEM
Check all hoses, fittings, and connections regularly for leaks and signs of wear. Make sure to keep the system
sanitized, and take care to winterize during cold weather (see instructions elsewhere in this manual). Do not
allow water to remain in system for extended periods or after a trip.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system requires minimal maintenance under normal circumstances. Most electrical maintenance
in the motor home involves the chassis and auxiliary batteries. Keeping the batteries properly maintained
will help to eliminate many frustrating electrical problems. Make sure to refer to the index for the location of
electrical and battery maintenance elsewhere in this manual.
The generator is another area in which simple preventive maintenance can “head off” problems before they
happen. Read the manual supplied with the generator for the care and maintenance required on a regular
basis. If you experience electrical problems with your motor home, make sure to have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
ROOF VENTS
Check roof vents regularly for debris that may block air flow or jam the cranking mechanism. Lubricate the
cranking.
ABS PLASTIC
aVoID aBraSIVE CLEaNSErS (even the liquid and cream types), alcohol
based products, and solvents such as acetone and MEK. Gasoline and kerosene
should not be used because of the damaging effect they have on the plastic
surface, as well as the fire hazard they present. often the damage caused by
solvents, alcohol, citrus based and oil based products may not be immediately
noticeable, but the plastic is made weaker, and prone to stress cracking.
