Vinyl Flooring

General Cleaning

Use a soft broom to sweep the floor. A vacuum cleaner
may damage the flooring, especially the type that uses
beater bars� In most cases, a clean damp cloth or mop
will suffice to clean dirty flooring. When necessary, a
solution of mild detergent or domestic floor cleaning
emulsion can be used to clean the flooring. Do not use
a wire brush or nylon scouring pads, furniture polish,
spirit-based polish, powder or liquid abrasive cleaners,
bleach, or other strong detergents� Scuffs, dirt, and
spillages should be cleaned up as soon as possible�
Rubber backing on doormats may result in yellow
discoloration of the floor immediately beneath. Choose
a natural fiber mat. Rubber feet on furniture may cause
staining� Remove them altogether or place coasters or
felt pads between them and the floor.

Polishing the Flooring

Cushioned floors that have an additional protective
coating such as Beauflor Premium Protect, Multi
Protect, and Ultragrip do not normally require polish�
Other floors (Bartoli/Lioni) will require polishing to
protect the floor's surface from staining agents and
give a surface shine� For these, apply a liquid emulsion
floor polish immediately after installation and thereafter
at 6 to 12 monthly intervals as required� Always follow
the manufacturer's instructions when using a floor
polish or cleaner and ensure it is suitable for use with
cushioned vinyl flooring.

Shower Stall

To clean your fiberglass shower stall unit, use warm
water and one of the stronger liquid detergents� Do
not use abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch and
dull the surface of your unit� Stubborn stains can
be removed with solvents such as turpentine, paint
thinner, or acetone� Restore dulled areas by rubbing
with an automotive type liquid cleaner, then put the soft
glow back into your unit with a light application of liquid
wax�
CAUTION
Applying wax to the base of the shower floor is
not recommended, as this could create an unsafe
surface.

Telephone Shower Head

The telephone shower head is designed to give
maximum flexibility in usage, and provides for water-
saving techniques when using your trailer on self-
containment� It can be held in the hand and moved
about the body� Normally, the best water conservation
procedure is to wet the entire body and then turn the
water off� Apply soap, lather thoroughly, and then rinse
the soap off�

Retractable Clothesline

A retractable clothesline and line hook is installed for
your convenience in the shower stall of the trailer�

Dinette

International models have dinettes which can be made
into a bed by raising up on the front of the table and
folding the table leg up against the bottom of the leaf�
As the table is raised, it will unhook from the upper
wall brackets� Once unhooked, the wall hinge will
allow it to be pulled out and lowered on the supports
of the dinette seats� The backrests of the seats are
placed over the table to complete the conversion� It is
recommended that you travel with the table in the lower
position�
On 23 ft� front bed models the dinette table has a
telescoping pedestal leg� To lower, release the black
compression clamp lever on the pedestal leg and push
the table down� Once lowered, clamp the lever back
to lock the leg in position� On the bottom of the table
top a latch is installed and can be released to allow the
table top to slide out towards the aisle� Use the dinettes
backrests to cover the table top and complete the
conversion�
