Section 13: Exterior
the alignment inspected periodically to maintain vehicle steering performance and prevent
uneven tire wear as part of your normal maintenance.
NOTE: Always have the alignment checked and adjusted by a
qualified shop with the proper equipment to handle heavy vehicles.
NOTE: A road test by the dealer should be included as part of the
pre-delivery inspection. The dealer can check for and correct any
steering problems before you take delivery of the motor home. After
this road test has been completed, front-end alignment and/or vibra-
tions will not be covered as part of the new vehicle limited warranty.
Exterior Roof & Sidewall Vents
Inspect the roof vents (including sealants) for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the
refrigerator and holding tank vents for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc.
All exterior access doors and vents need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect
nests, mud daubers, etc.) while the appliances are in use.
Windows
To avoid exhaust gas entry into the motor home, keep windows closed when
the chassis or generator engines are running.
Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially during heavy rainstorms or
while driving. This is normal and water should only be seen in the lower track portion of the
window frame. Condensation will also cause water to accumulate on windows and in the
tracks. Ensure that the escape window latches are properly adjusted (the window will pop
open if not adjusted tight enough).
Window glass
The window glass can normally be cleaned with a sponge and water. Use glass cleaner to
remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
Exterior Ladder (If So Equipped)
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with an exterior roof ladder. The RV roof has
decking under the rubber roof membrane to allow you to walk on the roof (with caution) to
do maintenance.
