Prolite recommends having your dealer inspect your trailer for water
tightness and make any necessary repairs. He is specially trained for
rapid detection and correction.
Exterior adhesive joints
Water is clearly your trailer’s greatest enemy. Regular inspection and maintenance of its
joints, sealants, and adhesives is your responsibility. Exposure to the elements and climatic
variations may accelerate joint deterioration.
• Every three months, carefully inspect sealants on the roof, around the windows,
exterior doors, loading hatches, connections and mouldings, as well as all lights.
Replace the sealant as required.
• Inspect the trailerfor signs of water infiltration. Look for cracks, voids, orany sign of
deterioration. Cracks and deteriorated joints may allow water to penetrate and result
in very costly repairs.
• Also inspect around roof vents, roof components, and all mouldings. A quick
inspection before each trip will helpreduce potential problems on the road.
• Inspect all these components when preparing the trailerfor winter, and when
opening it up in the spring.
The rubber seals on the entrance door, interior access hatches and compartment doors
must be checked occasionally for proper sealing. They can be cleaned with mild detergent
and a protective coating or other product may be applied to lubricate the rubber.
If you discover interior leaks, contact your dealer quickly. Defects caused by lack of
inspection and maintenance cannot be covered by warranties.
