epending upon your area and where your
RV is stored, your vehicle may be a target for
damage from rodents and insects. To protect
your RV, never leave food inside and ensure
that all surfaces are clean. Place rodent
control products in the unit during periods of
storage. Mice and other rodents can do a
tremendous amount of damage to the drapes,
cushions, etc., particularly during the winter
months. Storing your RV in a field can make it
particularly inviting. Periodically inspect it
during storage and seal off any areas that can
offer an entry point to rodents or insects.
Remember to remove any screens or tape
used to seal openings before using the RV
again. Damage from rodents or insects is not
covered by the Towable Limited Warranty.
When storing your RV, it is recommended that
the auxiliary battery (customer supplied) be
disconnected to battery avoid discharge.

formaldehyde-based adhesives that may
release formaldehyde fumes into the air for an
unknown time period. Individuals who are
allergic to formaldehyde gas fumes may
experience irritation to eyes, ears, nose and
throat. Indoor air quality may also be affected
by leaving your RV closed for storage. To aid in
dissipation, ventilate by opening all windows
and circulate the air with a fan. The following
label should be left permanently affixed to the
RV:
WARNING
Some products in this vehicle contain formaldehyde,
which may occasionally be an irritant to you. You
may experience a greater concentration during high
humidity and temperatures, but ventilation usually
removes it. If you are affected, ventilate the vehicle
and leave until the formaldehyde disappears.
Please contact our Customer Service Department if
you desire assistance.

original beauty with reasonable care. Dust and
wipe clean with soft, damp cloth or chamois,

damp cloth to ground electrostatic charges
that may attract dust particles). DO NOT use
gritty or abrasive particle soaps or scouring
