7.1 Exterior cleaning
NOTE
Acrylic glass window panes are very sensitive and
require special care.
Only clean wet with a clean sponge or soft cloth.
Avoid using chemical cleaning agents, glass cleaner
and other aggressive cleaners.
Use special acrylic glass cleaner for stubborn stains.
1. Prior to cleaning the vehicle, close all doors, windows, and
skylights.
2. Apply a weak water jet to the entire caravan at an approved
vehicle washing facility.
3. Wash the vehicle with a soft sponge and mild shampoo
solution and rinse with water.
4. Dry the caravan (e.g. with a chamois); remove, in particular,
moisture on lamp holders, window frames, etc.
5. Treat the surfaces with a suitable preserving agent.
NOTE
Because GFRP surfaces age faster than coated
surfaces, they may become dull and attract moss and
algae growth. For this reason, GFRP surfaces must
be polished and sealed with wax at least once year to
be protected against UV light and ageing. Suitable
polishes and sealants are available from specialist
distributors for camping and water sports products.
6. Plastic parts such as bumpers and skirting panels should be
cleaned with off-the-shelf, non-aggressive plastic cleaning
agents.
7. Apply a rubber care agent (talcum for example) to rubber
door and window elements.
8. Grease door hinges, stabilisers and joints as needed.
