ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
MOISTURE MANAGEMENT CONTINUED
AVOID DRASTIC THERMOSTAT SETBACKS
To minimize the opportunity for condensation to form on interior surfaces, maintain a
comfortable temperature in your motorhome and avoid nigh-time setbacks of 10 degrees or
more. Drastic setbacks that reduce the indoor air temperature quickly can increase the chance
for airborne moisture to condense on cool surfaces such as windows.
If you are away from your motorhome for an extended number of days, it is recommended that
you do not set the temperature back without taking other measures to manage relative
humidity. This includes operating a dehumidifier with a continuous drain.
MANAGE WINDOW CONDENSATION
Window condensation issues can be identified by water or ice build up, usually at the base of
the window. The majority of these problems can be addressed by managing moisture generated
inside the motorhome.
Minor condensation issues are not unusual, especially for the motorhomes used in colder
climates. To help minimize window condensation, use exhaust fans vented to the outside and
avoid drastic changes in the thermostat settings.
Do not use vent free heaters and use window coverings wisely. For example, make sure to
open curtains or blinds during the day to allow air to circulate and warm the window surfaces.
CARPET CARE AND MOISTURE MANAGEMENT
Carpeting should be cleaned when it shows signs of discoloration or traffic patterns. A steam
cleaning system should be used to clean the carpet unless otherwise noted in your warranty
information. To manage moisture from the cleaning process, the cleaning system need sto be
capable of extracting the excess water from the carpet after it has been cleaned.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the carpet is thoroughly dried before closing up the motorhome for
storage. Water from the cleaning process can cause significant damage to the motorhome if
the carpet is not completely dry before closing up the motorhome for an extended period of
time.
CLEANING TILE
Most floors only require a mild detergent and warm water for cleaning. More water on the
floor is not always better for cleaning. Use a damp cloth to clean on a regular basis rather than
wet mopping each time.
