GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and Maintenance of your Motorhome
Exterior
The exterior of your caravan is very durable
and easy to clean owing to it’s high gloss
properties. To maintain a showroom nish, one
needs only to wash the caravan and the parts
monthly (or more frequently), using Care-
avan* Caravan Cleaner but avoid using strong
alkaline (e.g. tri-sodium phosphate) or acidic
cleaners or abrasives. Waxing the components
once or twice a year with a good grade paste
wax will help to maintain the colour and nish.
Cleaning / usage information:
• Wash the caravan by hand, using a sponge
with plenty of Care-avan* cleaning solutions
to avoid scratching.
* Available through your supplying Bailey
Retailer or available to order direct via our
Parts Direct website
• www.bailey-parts.co.uk
• Always rinse away any cleaner from your
caravan.
• Dry the vehicle with a chamois or a
microbre cloth
• It is imperative to ensure that the area
surrounding the rooight is completely
dried, this will avoid both condensation and
damp collecting around the perimeter.
• Where possible position the vehicle nose
down for a short period to avoid water
pooling and collecting on the roof area.
Do not
• Do not apply a carnauba based wax to the
vehicle
• Do not use a mechanical brush washing
system such as a car wash.
• Never pressure wash your vehicle.

• Do not use Acrylic cleaners
Under no circumstances use any
abrasive agents, methylated spirit,
white spirit or other solvents to the
exterior of your caravan
No touch up painting should be carried out
prior to consulting with a Bailey Service Centre
for approved methods.
All items stored in the gas bottle
storage locker must be secured to
prevent impact damage to the inside
of the body panel when the caravan is
being towed.
Do not allow any chemicals, toilet or otherwise,
to spill or leak into the gas box oor. Before
placing items in the cradle ensure that the tray
is clean and free from any debris. Cleaning
should only be carried out with warm soapy
water.
The use of high pressure water jets to clean
your caravan will invalidate your warranty.
Acrylic Windows
The windows tted to your bailey caravan are
manufactured from high quality acrylic using
the latest plastic processing methods.
For cleaning, use only generous amounts of
water to wash away dust and road grit etc.
Then use a soft cloth and warm soapy water
and gently remove the remaining dirt. Avoid
abrasive cleaning materials and detergents.
As with all plastic materials, acrylic should not
be allowed to come into contact with chemicals
such as paint remover, y spray, acetone, dish
washer detergent and car cleaning detergent.
i
Never polish with a dry cloth
During high sun do not close the
window blinds completely and open the
windows into the ventilation position.
While the caravan is in motion please
ensure that the windows are fully
closed( this information is also detailed
on stickers on the windows)
