SECTION 11
STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
refrigerator exterior doors need to be kept
clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect
nests, mud daubers, etc.) while the
appliances (if so equipped) are in use.
WINDOWS
Any ventilating window may permit water
inside, especially during heavy rainstorms.
Condensation will also cause water to
accumulate on windows and in the tracks.
The window “glass” can normally be cleaned
with a sponge and water. Use glass cleaner
to remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc.
After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
DOORS & LOCKS
Locks on entrance and baggage doors need
biannual lubrication using a light coat of
silicone spray. Do not permit the spray to
come into contact with the tent. Conditions
such as rain, salt, dust and pollution may
increase the maintenance needs.
MAXISTOR™ STORAGE
(I
F SO EQUIPPED)
The Maxi-Store Storage provides space for
large and bulky items. However, keep all
weight capacities in mind as you load this
storage space. A label similar to the following
is located inside the storage compartment’s
doors. The maximum weight allowed in this
storage area will vary (depending your
model). Make sure that you stay within the
weight limits on the label attached to your RV.
Fig. 11.2 MAXISTOR™ label
If your RV has the MaxiStor™ storage door,
you will need to fold up the beds to open up
the area for storage. To utilize this
compartment, follow these simple steps:
1. Remove the mattress cushions and place
them along the interior wall at either end
of the bunk.
2. Lift up in the center of the bed platform.
Fold both ends up.
3. The top bunk will fold up to provide a
larger storage space.
4. Load cargo into the storage area.
TRAILER FRAME
Sand, pebbles, objects on the highway,
climate (salt air exposure) or ice inhibiting
chemicals used during the winter months will
damage the paint, inviting rust and other
deterioration. Periodically inspect the exterior
exposed areas, clean and repaint the steel
members occasionally and whenever you
notice rust or paint chipped away, to insure
protection.
E-Z LUBE AXLE (IF SO EQUIPPED)
The E-Z lube feature on your axles provides
the ability for the bearings to be periodically
lubricated without removing the hubs from the
axle. This feature consists of axle spindles
that have been specially drilled and fitted with
grease zerks in their ends. When grease is
pumped into the zerk, it is channeled to the
inner bearing and then flows back to the outer
bearing and eventually back out the grease
cap hole. If you have further questions,
consult with your dealer.
The convenient lubrication provisions of the
E-Z lube must not replace periodic inspection
and maintenance of the bearings. Use a
hand-operated grease gun; improper use of a
commercial grease gun may damage the
seals.
