COMPARTMENT DOORS

Apply powdered graphite lubricant to com-
partment door latches periodically as necessary
to keep latches operating smoothly.
If rubber door seals should become sticky,
making the door hard to open, apply a rubber pro-
tectant such as 303 TM , Armor-All
TM
Gun , etc.
UPHOLSTERY, CARPET AND
DRAPERIES
We recommend a weekly routine of vacuum-
ing all fabrics and carpet throughout the motor
home to prevent an accumulation of dirt which
can detract from the appearance and shorten the
lift of carpet and fabrics.
Upholstery
Some fabrics used in this motor home may
contain fire retardant and lightfastness additives
which can be damaged by use of improper clean-
ing products. Some water-based household
cleaning products are not formulated for use on
fabrics and may cause excessive shrinkage or
fading. Always test any cleaning product on a
hidden area of fabric before using on visible ar-
eas. For best results, fabric cleaning should be re-
ferred to a professional carpet and upholstery
cleaner.
NOTE: To minimize fading of upholstery, car-
pets and other interior fabrics caused by
excessive sunlight, the drapes, blinds or
