Hardware/Accessories/Light Fixtures
Wipe clean as you would for daily cleaning. Use a non-abrasive cleaner to avoid
damaging finish.
Cleaning Of Brass Fixtures
To clean fixtures, wipe with a soft damp cloth. Warm water will remove dry water
spots. Do not use cleaners which contain abrasive or harsh chemicals. Never use alco-
hol or other organic solvents.
Windows
Any glass will develop water spots if glass is not cleaned properly. Spotting effect
is magnified when the glass has a reflective finish. Use a squeegee immediately after
washing to reduce water spotting. To remove stubborn water stains from reflective glass,
we recommend Cerium Oxide Polishing Compound. This compound is made by C.R.
Lawrence and is available at most glass shops.
Condensation
Condensation is a natural phenomenon. The amount of condensation will vary
with climate conditions, particularly relative humidity. Condensation occurs because
there is water vapor present in the air, and each of us adds more by breathing, bathing,
cooking, etc. Water vapor collects wherever there is available air space, and when tem-
perature reaches dew point, water vapor in air condenses and changes to liquid form.
Controlling Moisture Condensation
You can reduce or eliminate interior moisture condensation during cold weather by
taking following steps:
• Partially open roof vents and windows so that outside air can circulate into inte-
rior air. Increase ventilation when larger numbers of people are in the motor
home; even when it is raining or snowing, air from outside will be far drier than
interior air.
• Cover ground under motor home with a vapor barrier such as a 6 mil polyethyl-
ene cover.
• Install a dehumidifier. Continuous use of a dehumidifier will be more effective in
removing excess moisture from interior air. While use of a dehumidifier is not a
