GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE
OF YOUR CARAVAN
The exterior of your caravan is very durable
and easy to clean owing to its high gloss
properties. To maintain a showroom finish, you
will need only to wash the caravan and its parts
frequently, using a suitable cleaner. 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 finish.
CLEANING/USAGE INFORMATION
• Wash the caravan by hand, using a sponge
with plenty of cleaning solution to avoid
scratching.
• Always rinse away any cleaner from your
caravan.
• Dry the vehicle with a chamois or microfibre
cloth.
• It is imperative to ensure that the area
surrounding the rooflight 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 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 solvents.
• Do not use acrylic cleaners.
Under no circumstances should you
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 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 to spill or leak
into the gas box floor. 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.
The windows fitted to your Bailey caravan are
manufactured from high quality acrylic using
the latest plastic processing methods.
For cleaning, use 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, fly spray, acetone,
dishwasher detergent and car cleaning
detergent.
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.
Dependent upon the temperature inside
the caravan compared to that outside,
condensation may be experienced between
the window panes. This is a perfectly normal
occurrence as the windows are not sealed
units. To disperse condensation, remove the
bungs using a pair of blunt end tweezers in
the corners of the window unit (preferably on
a warm day) until the condensation disperses
and then replace the bungs.
