The materials used inside
your
motor
home have been selectedfor durabil-
.
ity and comfort. With reasonable care,
these
materials will stand up under
years
of
recreational living. The
"INTERIOR
MAINTENAN
CE"
chapter in
this
manual
outlines care requirements for the various upholstery fabrics,
floor, cabinet, and wall finishes;'
EFFECTS
OF
LONG-
TERM
OCCUPANCY
Your motor home was designed primarily fo; recr:eational use and short
term
occupancy.
If
you intend to occupy the motor home for an extended
penod, you should understand that the additional wear will cause premature
deterioration
of
structure, interr()r finishes, fabrics, carpeting, drapes, appli-
.ancesand
fixtures.
You
should also
be
prepared to deal with condensati()n and
the humid concfi.tionsthat may
be
encountered. The relatively small volume,
and tight, compact construction
of
modern recreational vehicles
mean:
that
normal living activities
of
even a few occupants
will
lead to rapid saturation
of
the air, and
the
appearance
of
visible moisture, especially
in
cold weather. .
Just as moisture collects on the outside
of
a glass
of
cold water during humid
weather, moisture can condense on the inside surfaces
of
your motor
home
during use in cold weather when humidity
of
the interior air is high
..
Water
vapor
will condense
onthe
inside
of
the windows and
walls
as
moisture, or in cold weather as
fIo~t
or
iCe.
It
may also condense out
of
sight
within the walls
or
the.
ceiling where it will manifest itself as stained panels.
Appearance
of
tllese conditions indicates a condensation problem. When
you,
recognize the signs
of
excessive moisture and condensation, you should take
action to minimize their effects.
