observation platform. Use the exterior ladder to climb up
on the roof to inspect and maintain the roof, roong seals,
and roof-mounted components.
Inspections and TMC's Limited Warranties
In order to maintain certain TMC limited warranties, annual
inspections of the roof, roof seals, and other structural compo-
nents is required. Refer to your TMC Warranty Guide, TMC
Customer Care, or your dealer for warranty and inspection
details. Routinely inspect the roof and roof-mounted compo-
nents to make sure that all seals and sealants remain in good
condition and are not cracked or worn. Proper maintenance of
seals is necessary to keep moisture from entering and causing
severe damage, such as rot, mold, or mildew. If drying, cracked,
or weathered seals are encountered, make sure to reseal as
necessary. Contact your dealer or TMC's Customer Care
professionals for compatible sealants and sealing methods for
the roof materials installed on your motorhome. Special sealers
may be required for the skylights and other roof-mounted
components. Consult with your dealer regarding warranty and
roof inspections, sealing and sealant maintenance schedules.
Factory-installed Roof-mounted Accessories
Typically, motorhomes are equipped with several factory-in-
stalled roof-mounted components and accessories. ese
items require routine inspection and maintenance of seals in
order to prevent damaging water intrusion and to maintain
certain TMC limited warranties. Consult with your dealer
regarding warranty inspection requirements and routine
maintenance schedules.
Exterior Ladder
If equipped, the exterior rear ladder provides access to the roof
for inspection and maintenance of the roof and roof
mounted items.
