INTERIOR CARE

Cockpit

The dashboard is a molded
assembly that is vinyl wrapped.
The instrument panel is comprised
of various gauges and switches.
The dashboard and instrument
panel have different cleaning
requirements. Clean the vinyl
wrapped dashboard following
the instructions under "Vinyl" in
this section. If a blemish or small
cut occurs in the vinyl, contact
a professional upholstery repair
service.
Clean plastic or Plexiglas
instrument panels with a cloth
dampened with a mild soap
and water solution. Dry using a
separate cotton cloth. Plastic polish
products that can help brighten the
appearance of plastic or Plexiglas
instrument panels are Novus
Plastic Care , a three-part system;
®
Meguires and Johnson Paste
®
Wax
. These products will require
®
buffing and rubbing. Only glass
lens gauges can be cleaned using
glass cleaner. Spray cleaner on the
cloth, not directly onto the lens to
prevent overspray or runoff.
Typical Roof Layout:
Inspect each item for sealant integrity. Acryl-R is used as a roof sealant.
CAUTION:
Do not use glass cleaner
on plastic or Plexiglass
surfaces. Most glass
cleaners will haze plastic
finishes and cause
brittleness.
TIP:
To determine if a lens is
glass or plastic, tap the lens
with a fingernail. Plastic
lens will have a dull hollow
sound whereas glass will
have a clear ping sound.

General Care & Cleaning
®
Use care when the motorhome is
exposed to high-humidity climates
for an extended period. Protect
fabrics from prolonged exposure to
moisture to prevent mold. Cover all
upholstery and make sure window
coverings are down to protect fabrics
from sun damage. Frequently used
items require more attention than
those items not regularly used.
If a spill occurs, blot the moisture
as quickly as possible. Do not use
soap and hot water as this may set
a stain. Clean the spot as soon as
possible.

vinyl. The care and cleaning of
these areas are as follows:
Normal Cleaning:
Most common stains can
be cleaned using warm soapy
water and a clear water (distilled
water preferred) rinse. Moderate
scrubbing with a medium bristle
brush will help to loosen soil
from the depression of embossed
surfaces.
