Wax fiberglass surfaces at least once a year with a standard liquid or paste wax. Make sure to
follow the directions for use as outlined by the product manufacturer. Make sure to wash and wax
your unit out of the hot sun when exterior surfaces are cool.
Storage of the recreation vehicle out of direct sun is also a primary way to help preserve fiberglass
finishes.
Physical damage to fiberglass should be taken care of immediately to avoid moisture from
entering through breaks and causing problems with interior walls and components. Cover breaks
in the fiberglass with plastic, sealing the edges with tape until proper repairs can be made.
NOTE:
DO NOT use rubbing compound or any abrasive cleaner or cloth on the recreation vehicle.
If using a tar and insect remover, make sure it is safe for use on painted surfaces and striping
decals.
The exterior painted finish on the recreation vehicle is of the finest quality. Proper maintenance will
assure a long lasting durable finish.
NOTE:
Do not wax or polish the exterior for the first 60 days.
Extreme caution should be used when using a pressure washer to wash the recreation vehicle, as
severe damage to the paint could result. The tip of the pressure washer should never be adjusted
to a "pin point" type spray. A fan type spray which disburses the water over a larger area should
be used. Also, if the pressure is adjustable, set it to the lowest setting. The spray tip should remain
a minimum of 30" away from the surface of the recreation vehicle to ensure safe cleaning.
NOTE:
Do not use rubbing compound or other abrasive cleaners on the recreation vehicle
exterior. If using a tar and/or insect remover, insure it is safe for painted surfaces and decals.
• Avoid parking under trees or near ocean salt spray.
• Ice or snow should not be scraped from the painted surface. Brush off.
• If the recreation vehicle sets more than 24 hours, remove any front protective
covering (bra) while not being driven.
• Commercial washes should be avoided. Wash with cold water using a mild
liquid soap. Dry wiping with a dry cloth is not recommended.
• When driving -Avoid gravel roads.
• Anti-freeze, gasoline, or window solvent spilled on painted surfaces should be
rinsed off with water immediately.
• Rinse off bugs and bird droppings daily with water.
