EFFECTS OF PROLONGED
OCCUPANCY
Your motorhome was designed primarily for
recreational use and short-term occupancy. If you
expect to occupy your motorhome for an
extended period, be prepared to deal with
condensation and humid conditions that may be
encountered.
Humidity and Condensation
Moisture condensing on the inside of
windows is a visible indication that there is too
much humidity inside the motorhome. Excessive
moisture can cause water stains or mildew, which
can damage interior items such as upholstery and
cabinets.
WARNING
STAY OFF ROOF. Surface may be
slippery. Falling could result in death or
serious injury.
