Your motorhome is equipped with a one piece fiberglass roof. Regular cleaning and maintenance is

essential to insuring a long, trouble free life. Before cleaning, it is important that you inspect the sealants

and gaskets used to seal components to the roof structure to be certain there is no leakage during the

cleaning process. Any cracks or voids in the sealants and seals

MUST

be repaired prior to spraying the

roof with water.

The surface of the fiberglass roof has a gel coat finish that is very similar to the paint on the exterior of

your unit. This provides a bright, durable finish that is easy to maintain. Around the perimeter of the roof

is a textured area designed to provide better traction while walking on the roof.

Great care should be

taken when walking on a roof that is wet, as the surface can be extremely slippery.

It is also important to make sure the roof drain catch basin strainers are cleaned and kept free of debris.

There are four (4) of them, and they are located at the front and rear ends of the roof gutters, on both the

left and right sides.

Clean the roof with a mild detergent and soft brush, such as you would use to wash the exterior of your

unit. Stubborn stains, like tree sap or bird droppings, may require additional scrubbing. Do not use harsh

chemicals, or any caustic or acid based solutions for cleaning. Standard household cleaners diluted in

water and applied with a soft bristle brush provide the best cleaning action. Rinse with clear water, taking

care not to spray directly into roof vents, air conditioners, the refrigerator chimney, or and other roof

mounted accessories.

Battery Inspection & Care

Remember that when batteries are not used for an extended period of time, they may lose their charge.

Periodic charging of the batteries during storage of the unit will increase the life of the battery. Check the

external condition of the battery periodically. Look for cracks in the cover and case. Check the vent plugs

and replace them if they are cracked or broken. Keep the battery clean. Accumulations of acid film and

dirt may permit current flow between the terminals, which could drain the battery.

WARNING

Remove rings, metal watch bands, and other metal jewelry before working around batteries. Use caution
when using metal tools. If a tool contacts a battery terminal or metal connected to it, a short circuit could occur
which could cause personal injury, explosion or fire.

CAUTION

Disconnect the 120 volt electrical power cord and the negative terminal from the coach batteries before
working on the electrical system.
