Short Term
3 • 1 2 2
The day/night shades are made of polyester blended material. Use the
following guidelines to care and maintain the day/night shades:
• Leave Day-Night shades in the UP position when not in use to
help the shades hold their shape.
• String tension for the shades should be equal. The tension can be
adjusted if the shades will not remain up.
Dusting:
Vacuum with a brush attachment, or use a dusting tool on a regular basis.
Cleaning:
A dry foam cleaner may be used for soil and dirt removal. Follow all
directions on the container or a cleaning solution of ¼ ounce clear liquid soap
to 8 ounces water.
NOTE: Do not use colored liquid soap as a stain may appear when
fabric dries.
Short term storage is defined as storing the motorhome for a period of thirty
days or less. Properly preparing the motorhome during periods of short term
storage will make bringing the motorhome out of storage a much easier process.
Winterize the plumbing system if the motorhome is stored in winter months or
if stored when temperatures are below 32º F.
Checklist-Short Term Storage
• If applicable, retract the slide room(s). Do not store the
motorhome with slide room(s) extended.
• Shut off all appliances. Close the primary LP-Gas valve.
• Remove all articles from refrigerator/freezer and clean thoroughly.
Prop doors open to prevent mildew.
• Holding tanks should be drained and fresh water system winterized
with potable antifreeze or winterize the plumbing system using
air pressure.
• Retract and secure all awnings.
• Turn OFF the battery cut-off switch.
• Batteries should be stored fully charged. Batteries stored in a
discharged state will readily freeze.
• If possible, park the motorhome so that the batteries are accessible
for charging or changing without having to move the motorhome.
• If available, leave the motorhome hooked to shore power. Leave
the main battery disconnect switch ON.
• Careful placement of a small heat source in the interior will help
control moisture. Desiccate filter systems will help remove interior
moisture.
