Awning care
It is a good idea to keep the awnings in the closed position if you will be away from
the motor home for an extended period of time. Keep your awnings clean and in
good condition to prevent costly repairs.
Periodically check that the fasteners are tight. Tighten if necessary.
Keep the awning fabric clean. For detailed cleaning information, refer to the
manufacturer’s owner information included in the Owner’s Portfolio.
ROOF LADDER (IF SO EQUIPPED)
Your motor home is equipped with a rear ladder, to allow access to the roof.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
To protect your motor home's exterior finish, wash it often and thoroughly.
Your RV is exposed to many environmental conditions that have an adverse affect
on the paint finish:
Road Salt and Sodium Chloride
Road Tar / Bugs
Bird Droppings / Tree Sap
Industrial Fallout / Acid Rain /Pollution
UV Exposure and Moisture
The most common problems resulting from these conditions are corrosion, staining,
and chemical spotting. Generally, the longer the foreign material remains in contact
with the exterior finish, the more extensive the damage. These problems can be
minimized by regularly scheduled washing and polishing. Wash your motor home
as soon as possible if it becomes contaminated with foreign material.
Avoid parking under trees or near ocean sea salt. Ice or snow should not be
scraped from the painted surface: Brush off!
WARNING
Awnings must be closed (and locked if applicable) while the RV is in transit.
