CHAPTER

EXTERIOR
ALUMINUM
(Smooth
Finish)
Your
new
Jayco coach
has
an improved smooth metal with a new
polyester automotive paint finish. This metal sufiace may be cleaned
and polished as you would your automobile.
EXTERIOR
ALUMINUM
(Cedar
Embossed)
The
aluminum on the outside of your
Jayco
can
be
cleaned and
washed
the
same as an automobile
finish.
It is suggested that a spray
wax,
or
wash and wax combination, be
used
for
waxing due to the
testure
of
the
aluminum. The textured
aluminum
siding wiI1 reduce
excessive scratching.
EXTERIOR
ROOF
The
roof material
is
a
smooth mill-finished aluminum
which
needs
little
or
no
maintenance.
Inspect the
front
and
rear
seam
periodically
for
hardening
or deteriorating
of sealants.
Recoat
the
seams
as
need
be
with
an
acrylic
sealant
or
SikaFiex coating, perhaps
once per
year.
FRAME
The frame
on
your new Jayco coach
has
been
painted to resist rust
and corrosion.
Frames will
rust
much sooner
in
salt exposed areas
than
in dry air.
Also, frames will receive heavy abuse from roads, such as; sand,
pebbles, objects on the highway
all
of
which will cause chipping and
a
blasting effect on the painted surface.
For
these reasons
it
will
be
necessary to inspect, clean, and repaint the steel members
to
prevent
excessive rust and insure a longer life
of
the
frame.
