EMPRESS
The roof is made of bowed aluminium rafters and
constructed in a laminated sandwich method.
It is strong enough to support the weight of an
average adult should it become necessary to
repair the roof or any of the roof mounted com-
ponents. It is not recommended to carry large
heavy objects on the roof. The additional strain
of the weight along with the movement of the
vehicle could cause damage to the roof. Check
the roof regularly, especially the sealant around
vents, air conditioners, body-to-roof seams, etc.
for possible leaks. Any suspected leaks should
be repaired immediately. Any leakage could re-
sult in damage to the interior of the motorhome.

Mud and dirt along with corrosive materials used
to control dust or ice on the roads can accumulate
underneath your motorhome and cause prema-
ture deterioration and rusting. In addition, any
build-up will add unnecessary weight to the ve-
hicle. It is recommended that the undercarriage
and the entire underbody be rinsed and fl ushed
every time the motorhome is washed.
Washing, Waxing and Polishing:
Damaging salts, calcium chloride, road tar, tree
sap, insects and other foreign material have a
way of accumulating on the body of your mo-
torhome. To reduce the harmful effects of these
agents it is recommended that the motorhome
be washed frequently and thoroughly using a
mild soap and warm water. Do not wash the
exterior in direct sunlight and never use hot
water. See the information package for care and
maintenance instructions. Pressure washers are
not a good idea as they can loosen decals and
sealants. Waxing your R.V. is strongly recom-
mended to counter the effect of U.V. exposure
on the exterior fi berglass parts.
CAUTION
Never use strong solvents or
harsh abrasives on painted sur-
faces.
If you notice the water failing to bead on the mo-
torhome it is probable time to wax and polish it.
This will not only improve the appearance of your
motorhome, but will protect the painted surfaces
from oxidation and corrosion and make it easier

doors, and vents as well as all other joints.
Recaulk if necessary using the correct caulking
