SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
2-10
windows and vents to minimize condensation.
Use of the air conditioner can assist in removing
moisture from the air. Avoid leaks, but if leaks do
occur, make repairs promptly.
Avoid bringing mold into your motorhome.
Plants, cloths, books, and other household items
may already have mold present. It is easy to
transfer mold into your motorhome environment.
Monitor your motorhome. Periodically check
those hidden areas in corners, closets, and
cabinets to assure mold is not present.
What if I Find Mold?
If mold develops, clean the area with a
concentrate of soap and bleach. Items that
contain mold that cannot be cleaned should be
removed from the vehicle.
Can Mold Harm Me?
The effects of mold and airborne mold spores
may cause irritation to some people. Experts
disagree on the level of exposure that may cause
health concerns.
If Mold Is Present, What Will
Winnebago Industries
®
Do?
If Winnebago Industries determines that mold
is present in the motorhome as a result of a
manufacturing defect reported to Winnebago
Industries within the limited warranty period,
Winnebago will clean the affected area(s) and/or
replace affected items as it deems necessary. This
is the extent of coverage provided by Winnebago
Industries. Winnebago Industries, however, will
not assume responsibility for mold deemed to be
a result of a motorhome users lack of timely and
appropriate action to mitigate circumstances
should a problem occur.
If Winnebago Industries determines that mold
is present due to conditions it determines is not a
result of a manufacturing defect found within the
warranty period, Winnebago Industries will not
provide any financial assistance to the repair of
the condition.
