MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

automobiles. This type of lamp assembly is not
sealed from the atmosphere and is designed with
a moisture venting system.
Because they are not sealed, under “dew
point” conditions the headlights may exhibit
signs of humidity condensation on the reflector
surface and lens, such as small droplets of water
or “fogging over”.
If this happens, drive with the headlights on so
the moisture can evaporate and expel through the
venting system designed into the headlamp
assembly.
INTERIOR SOFT GOODS
We recommend a weekly routine of
vacuuming all fabrics and carpet throughout the
motorhome to prevent an accumulation of dirt,
which can detract from the appearance and
shorten the life of carpet and fabrics.
Fabric Upholstery
Some fabrics used in this motorhome may
contain fire retardant and lightfastness additives,
which can be damaged by use of improper
cleaning products. Some water-based household
cleaning products are not formulated for use on
fabrics and may cause excessive shrinkage or
fading. Always test any cleaning product on a
hidden area of fabric before using on visible
areas. For best results, fabric cleaning should be
referred to a professional carpet and upholstery
cleaner.
NOTE: To minimize fading of upholstery, carpets
and other interior fabrics caused by
excessive sunlight, the drapes, blinds, or
shades should be closed when the
motorhome is parked for an extended
period of time.
Ultraleather
TM
Leather-Like Upholstery
Ultraleather
synthetic leather fabric material
has the luxurious look and feel of the finest
European calfskin, with the durability and
resistance to soils and stains of vinyl fabrics. It is
also tougher than real calfskin and has superior
resistance to punctures, snags, and rips.
For most soils and stains, the fabric
manufacturer recommends spot treatment with a
solution of water and Tide
®
brand laundry
detergent or equivalent. More stubborn stains
may be treated with a water-based multipurpose
cleaner/degreaser such as Simple Green
®
or
equivalent. Solvent cleaners such as nail polish
remover or other aromatic solvents are not
recommended.
Care Instructions
•
Spot clean with mild soap and water.
•
Air dry or, if desired, dry quickly using a hair
dryer on warm setting - not hot.
•
For stubborn stains, use cleaner-degreaser.
WARNING
When cleaning upholstery and fabric, do
not use lacquer thinner, nail polish
remover, laundry soaps, or bleach. Never
use carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, or
naphthalene for any cleaning purpose.
These materials may cause damage to
the material being cleaned and most are
highly flammable, posing risk of injury due
to fire.
