SECTION 11
MAINTENANCE/STORAGE
11-4
Use only soap and water to clean exterior
lamp lenses- especially headlights!
•
Contact with certain chemicals can cause
etching, ‘crazing’ or cracking of the lens,
which can significantly reduce the lens clarity
and effectiveness of the lamp and may require
replacement of the complete lamp housing.
•
Some popular citric acid cleaners may cause
bicarbonate lenses to become ‘hazy’ or
‘foggy’
•
Do not use a pressure washer to clean
headlights.
•
Inspect and operate the lights regularly to
confirm proper operation and mounting
condition.
Headlight Moisture
Your coach is equipped with composite
headlights which contain replaceable halogen
‘bulb’ elements, common to most current
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
motor home to prevent an accumulation of dirt
which can detract from the appearance and
shorten the life of carpet and fabrics.
Ultraleather HP

- Leather-Like
Upholstery - Optional
The optional leather-like seating is
upholstered with Ultraleather
HP
TM
synthetic
leather fabric material. This new 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 tears.
For most soils and stains, the fabric
manufacturer recommends spot treatment with a
solution of water and Tide
TM
brand laundry
detergent or equivalent. More stubborn stains
may be treated with a water-based multipurpose
cleaner/degreaser such as Simple Green
TM
or
equivalent. Solvent cleaners such as nail polish
remover or other aromatic solvents are not
recommended.
