Care Tips
Exterior & Chassis
- Every 90 days, thoroughly inspect the roof sealants, sealants
around windows, exterior doors, cargo doors, fittings and moldings.
Reseal annually. - Inspect the chassis frame rails and components. Check for
loosened bolts. Look for bent or dented parts.
Check visible wiring. Look for damaged wiring. Look for loosened
connections. - Check the tires and wheels. Be sure tires are properly inflated
and wheel lug nuts remain torqued correctly to the specification. - Open exterior storage compartments regularly and ventilate. Look
for any signs of water intrusion. Reseal as required or ask your
dealer for assistance.
Interior & Furnishings
- Thoroughly ventilate the interior when using the trailer. This will
reduce the effects of condensation that could damage walls and
fabrics. - Wipe up spills and excess moisture from floors and carpets.
- Vacuum frequently to enhance carpet performance.
- Close window shades when the trailer is stored in direct sunlight
to minimize possible fabric and carpet fading. - When storing your trailer for long periods, empty all foodstuffs
from cabinets and the refrigerator, especially during freezing
weather.
Plumbing & Propane Systems
- Frequently open cabinets and plumbing access panels to look
for any signs of plumbing leaks or water intrusion. - Over time, road dynamics from towing may cause some plumbing
fittings to loosen. This is normal. You can easily tighten most
fittings by hand or with basic tools to stop or prevent minor leaks. - Check and clean the fresh water filter at the water pump regularly.
When reinstalling the filter housing, be sure it is tight, run the
fresh water pump and check for any leaks. - If you store your trailer in freezing weather, completely drain the
fresh water plumbing system, water heater, toilet, ice maker, and
holding and fresh water tanks. See your dealer for the proper
winterization procedure. Visit your trailer while it is in storage.
Inspect for anything unusual. - Check the propane gas tank hold down bracket. Be sure it is tight
before towing your trailer. - Each time your propane tanks are filled, check the propane hose
fittings at the tanks. Tighten them securely, but by hand only.
