or lightly brushed to remove accumulation of leaves or other
debris. Lubricate the gears and mechanism yearly with a light,
water resistant grease.
Skylight
The skylight/s should be cleaned at least once a year. Rinse
the skylight/s with lukewarm water. Wash with mild soap and
lukewarm water using a soft cloth or sponge and gently wash
to loosen dirt and grime. DO NOT SCRUB or use brushes or
squeegees. Repeat rinse and dry with a soft cloth to prevent
water spotting.
Exterior Lights
Check the operation of your camper’s exterior lights prior to
each trip. This should also include your truck’s lighting. An
inoperative bulb or fixture can create an unsafe condition by
reducing your ability to signal your intentions to other drivers.
When replacing exterior bulbs, take care that the sealant
around the light is not disturbed. When replacing exterior LED
fixtures, ensure the new fixture is installed using a
recommended sealant. Your Nücamp RV Dealer can assist
you with a replacement of the fixture and/or provide
information on the appropriate sealants if you prefer to do this
work yourself.
Wiring
Make sure the connector-plug prongs and receptacles are
clean. Lightly coat all electrical terminal connections with
non-conducting (dielectric), light waterproof grease. Clean the
prongs with very fine sandpaper, being careful not to damage
the contact area.
Battery(s)
Your camper is outfitted with a battery(s) that operates
lighting, jacks, slide-outs, or other accessories. The battery(s)
may be kept charged either by the truck, by the generator or
shore power.
A disconnect switch is provided to disconnect the battery(s)
when you do not plan to be using the camper for an extended
period, such as seasonal storage.
The battery must be kept in a charged condition during
storage. The battery could freeze and break if it becomes
discharged.
Awning
An operating and maintenance guide for your awning/s
included in your Owner’s Information Package. It contains
instructions for opening and closing the awning, as well as
maintenance and care instructions.
Interior Maintenance
Interior Odor
New campers may have a strong odor and even cause eye
irritation when closed in hot weather. This is due to glues used
in the cabinetry and paneling. This condition passes with time
but in an extreme condition open the entry door and all
windows and allow the inside to air out for several hours.
Upholstery & Drapes
Draperies, mattress covers, upholstery and wall pads are
manufactured from quality materials and should be dry
cleaned only. Some dry-cleaning methods will damage vinyl
or plastic found on cushions and drapes. Be sure to consult
your local cleaners. Frequent vacuuming or light brushes
between cleanings will help prevent accumulation of dirt and
grime. Use of water based or detergent based cleaners may
cause shrinking. Water stains may become permanent. Minor
spills should be cleaned up quickly to avoid staining. The
affected area should be blotted, not rubbed, to prevent the
stain from working deeper into the fabric. On vinyl upholstery,
remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner. Wipe the vinyl
with a soft cloth and dampen in a solution of mild soap and
water. Use the same solution with a soft-bristle brush on more
difficult spots. You can also use commercially-available spray
or foam-type vinyl cleaners.
Do not use lacquer thinner, nail polish remover, carbon
tetrachloride, gasoline, or naphtha for any cleaning purposes.
These products may cause damage to the material being
cleaned, and are highly flammable or poisonous.
Wall & Ceiling Panels
The paneling and ceiling of your camper may be any of
several finishes and textures. Never use harsh detergents or
abrasive cleaners on walls or ceilings. Most surfaces will clean
with a soft cloth moistened with mild liquid detergent in warm
water. Do not use large amounts of water, which could
saturate the material.
Floors & Carpeting
Vinyl flooring requires only washing and periodic waxing.
Vacuum the carpeting frequently to remove dirt. Ground-in
dirt will make the carpet wear our faster. Periodically
shampoo the carpet to keep it looking new. Use one of the
foam-type carpet cleaners on the market. Follow the
instructions that come with the cleaner, applying it with a
sponge or soft brush. Keep the carpeting as dry as possible by
not adding water to the foam.
Wood Product Care
Remove dust with a clean slightly damp cloth. Buff with a
soft, dry cloth. Never use harsh detergents and solvents.
Fiberglass Care
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring powders. Use of
abrasive cleaners will dull or damage the surface of this
product and could leave scratches. If material gets scratched,
easy polishing brings back the original shine. It is
recommended you use a gel cleaner or household cleaner
made for fiberglass and acrylic.
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, “scotch brite” type
scratch pads, or any other abrasive scrubbers. Wipe only with
a soft cloth or sponge.
