PRECAUTIONS

Careful maintenance for the first 60 days after the paint and clear coat are applied will

ensure a long-lasting durable finish. Do not wax or polish for the first 60 days.

First 30 days PARKING:

Avoid parking under trees or near ocean salt spray.

Ice or snow should not be scraped from the painted service: BRUSH OFF!

If a motorhome sets more than 24 hours, remove any protective covering

(bra) while not being driven.

First 30 days WASHING:

Commercial washes should be avoided.

Wash with cold water using a mild liquid soap.

Dry wiping with a drying cloth is not recommended.

First 30 days DRIVING:

Gravel roads should be avoided.

Antifreeze, gasoline or window solvents, if spilled on the painted service

It is recommended that the caulking and sealant used in external seams and joints

such as window frames, light bezels, beltline and rub-rail molding, etc., be checked

regularly. If this material has dried out and becomes cracked or checked, or if a portion

has fallen out, it should be replaced with fresh material to prevent possible rain leaks.

Caulking and sealing material is available from your motorhome dealer and most RV

supply stores.
