Black Urethane:
This product is used for sealing the windshields. It was not
designed to fill holes or other imperfections. Black urethane
comes in a tube and it applies much the same way as silicone
does. Clean up using solvents such as paint thinner. Gloves are
required as this material is hazardous.
Silicone Sealant:
Primarily this product is used on the sidewalls where a hole has
been made and an item installed. This includes Windows, Doors,
Handles, Beltline Molding, Latches and around bases of items surface
mounted such as clearance lights. Old peeling sealant should be
removed. Avoid using metal utensils which can scratch the painted
surface. Use nylon sticks or equivalent. Avoid using lacquer thinners
or ketone based solvents as these chemicals can damage the painted
surfaces. Be sure the surface is clean and dry before application.
Cut the tube at an angle with smallest usable opening. Avoid a
heavy bead as a little goes a long way. Use finger at a 45° angle
on beaded surface to smooth out product. Do not moisten finger,
use a disposable latex glove. Keep rags or paper towels handy for
clean up. Use care when applying silicone. Plan ahead before
starting a bead, look for obstacles that may impede application.
Spray Foam:
This product is used as a sealant where a hole has been made for
items such as water lines or wires that are coming through a floor
opening.
Most fabrics have a designated cleaning code assigned to them. The cleaning
code is determined, in most cases, by the content of the fabric. The code
represents the cleaning agent and method that is approved by the fabric industry.
If the fabric is abused, it can be damaged. Special care needs to be taken when
the motorhome is exposed to a very humid climate for an extended period of
time. Cover all upholstery and make sure window coverings are down to
protect from sun damage.
Protect the fabric from any unnecessary exposure to moisture. Frequently
used items will wear accordingly and may require more attention than those
items not regularly used.
