Sealant Renewal - Fleetwood 1999 American Tradition Parts And Service Manual

MAiNTENANCE
The rubber roof itself does not require annual coatings or
additional sealants. Periodic washing with soap and water is
all that is required.
The rubber roof material can be cut by sharp objects. Use
caution when loading sharp articles on the roof. If you add
accessories or new equipment on the roof, be sure the
installer is qualified to work on the rubber roof material. This
is required under the terms of the warranty.
Repair kits are available through your dealer. The roof
requires special adhesives and material.
The adhesives and sealants used in the construction of your
motor home were developed to remain waterproof under sus-
tained effects of weather and vibration. However, even the
finest materials will eventually dry out and lose their effec-
tiveness under the constant heat of the sun and attack by
other elements. This section outlines the procedures you
must follow to maintain the weatherproof integrity of your
motor home.
Your dealer can perform the resealing inspection and work
for you. Your dealer also has current information on sealants
used in your motor home, and can recommend the appropri-
ate sealants for you if you prefer to do this work yourself.
Always use the rec()mmended sealants.
