a hand-operated grease gun; improper use of a commercial grease
gun may damage the seals.
Failure to properly maintain or reseal your recreation vehicle may result in
serious water damage to the roof and other parts of the recreation vehicle. This
damage is not covered by the Towable Limited Warranty..

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.
EXTERIOR ROOF & SIDEWALL VENTS
While you are cleaning the exterior roof assembly, also inspect the roof vents (including
sealants) for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the refrigerator and holding tank vents
for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. All exterior access doors and vents
need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect nests, mud daubers, etc.) while the
appliances are in use.
SEALANTS
Sealants perform a very important function and should be inspected closely and regularly
maintained. We incorporate many different types of sealants, including butyl/putty, black
butyl-encapsulated foam, silicone (clear and colored), roof sealant and foam. In general,
sealants do not have “set” lifetimes. Varying environmental factors affect the pliability and
adhesiveness of sealants.
EXTERIOR LADDER (IF SO EQUIPPED)
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with an optional roof ladder. The recreation vehicle
roof has decking under the rubber roof membrane to allow you to walk on the roof (with
caution) to do maintenance.
If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a roof ladder, do not leave items
attached to it while traveling. The ladder weight capacity should not be
exceeded (see ladder capacity label). DO NOT exceed this weight limit. There
should never be more than one person on the ladder at the same time.
