cations to your RV
Consult Ti
ffi
n Motorhomes for guidance prior to making any modi
fi
cations to your RV. It is import-
ant that changes be completed by a quali
fi
ed service
fi
rm to ensure moisture intrusion or accumula-
tion problems do not occur.
Wet Areas
Areas that are exposed to water spills or leaks should be dried as soon as possible and de
fi
nitely
within 24 to 48 hours. Drying areas quickly minimizes the chance for moisture damage and possible
mold growth, which can begin to form colonies within 48 hours. A variety of methods can be used
to help the drying process:
• Remove excess water with an extraction vacuum
• Use a dehumidi
fi
er to aid drying
• Use portable fans to move air across the surface
• Because moisture is key to mold issues, treat all signs of condensation and spills seriously
and deal with promptly. Failure to deal with a moisture issue promptly may cause more
severe issues where none initially existed, or may make a small problem much worse.
• Learn to recognize signs of mold—don’t paint over or cover up suspicious discoloration
until you are sure it is not mold.
Th
e a
ff
ected surface must
fi
rst be cleaned and dried; re-
sidual staining may be painted.
• Be sure to understand and eliminate the source of moisture accumulation as a part of the
cleanup. Otherwise, the same issues will simply reoccur.
• Small amounts of mold should be cleaned as soon as it appears. Small areas of mold should
be cleaned using a detergent/soapy solution or an appropriate RV household cleaner. Gloves
should be worn during cleaning.
Th
e cleaned area should then be thoroughly dried. Dispose
of any sponges or rags used to clean mold.

Studies of tire safety show that maintaining proper tire pressure, observing tire and vehicle load lim-
its, avoiding road hazards, and inspecting tires for cuts, slashes, and other irregularities are the most
important things you can do to avoid tire failure, such as tread separation or blowout and
fl
at tires.
