Section 13: Exterior

Exterior Roof and Sidewall Vents
Inspect the roof vents (including sealants) for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the re-
frigerator and holding tank vents for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. All
exterior access doors and vents need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect
nests, mud daubers, etc.) while the appliances are in use.
Windows
Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially during heavy rainstorms. Con-
densation will also cause water to accumulate on windows and in the tracks.
The window “glass” can normally be cleaned with a sponge and water. Use glass cleaner to
remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
Exterior Ladder (if so equipped)
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with an exterior roof ladder. The RV roof has
decking under the rubber roof membrane to allow you to walk on the roof (with caution) to
do maintenance.
Some models may be equipped with a self-storing ladder mounted to the side of the vehicle.
Self-Storing Ladder operation
1.
Pull all the locking pins (arrows) out of the ladder
brackets (
Fig. A
).
2.
Pull the ladder down and toward you and it will
swing away from the RV.
3.
When the brackets are extended (
Fig. B
), re-insert
the pins (arrows) to lock the ladder in place while
in use.
4.
To return the ladder to the storage position; pull the
locking pins and push the ladder up and in towards
the RV.
5.
When the ladder is in the storage position, re-insert
all locking pins to prevent the ladder from opening
while traveling.
If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a roof ladder, do not leave
items attached to it while traveling. The ladder weight capacity should
not be exceeded (see ladder capacity label).
DO NOT
exceed this weight
limit. There should never be more than one person on the ladder at the
same time.
Self-Storing ladders:
Make sure to pull all (there may be up to 4) pins
to unlock the ladder. All pins
must be re-inserted
when locking the lad-
der open for use. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury.
