Seals - Tiffin Motorhomes WAYFARER 2017 Owner's Manual

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Do not mistake lambs wool with imitations. Imitation pads are made from 100% polyester, which is
plastic. Plastic imitations will scratch the finish of the motorhome. For this same reason avoid microfiber
products to wash or dry your motorhome, car, boat, airplane, motorcycle, vehicle, furniture, or cabinets.
Microfiber is made from 80% polyester.
Avoid washing with brushes. Even though you may not see brush marks now, the damage will happen as
the bristles wear down.
Use only 100% cotton towels to dry your vehicle. Adding vinegar to your wash water and washing in the
morning or evening will help prevent water spots. Water spots damage the exterior of your coach the
same way they damage glass shower doors. They etch their way into the surface and removal becomes
difficult. Prevention becomes the key.
Wash one side at a time, rinse, and then dry quickly using a squeegee followed by a towel placed over
the cleaning head.
To remove oil and grease remember an important rule of cleaning: Give your product time to work. Dab
a bit of concentrated cleaner like CleanEz by Mary Moppins—never an orange based cleaner or one with
petroleum distillates—onto a soft cloth. Apply to the oil spot and wait 10 to 15 minutes before rubbing
lightly to remove the oil. Rinse immediately.

SEALS

The seals around the doors, windows, vents, slide-out trim, and external seams should be checked at
least semi-annually. Additionally, the roof seams should be inspected for cracking or peeling semi-
annually. If deterioration is noted during a routine maintenance inspection, reseal the seams or seals
with an approved sealant to prevent leaks.
Your Tiffin Motorhomes dealer can perform resealing inspections and subsequent work for you. It is
recommended that a Tiffin Motorhomes authorized service center perform these inspections
periodically and perform necessary resealing when necessary.
