Exterior Lights
Check the operation of your camper's exterior lights
prior to each trip. This should also include your
truck's lighting. An inoperative bulb or fixture can
create an unsafe condition by reducing your ability
to signal your intentions to other drivers. When
replacing exterior bulbs, take care that the sealant
around the light is not disturbed. When replacing
exterior LED fixtures, ensure the new fixture is
installed using a recommended sealant. Your
nüCamp RV Dealer can assist you with a
replacement of the fixture and/or provide
information on the appropriate sealants if you prefer
to do this work yourself.
Air Conditioner
It is recommended to clean the filter at least once a
month to ensure the unit is operating at its full
potential. To clean the filter, gently slide the filter
out of the unit. Wash the filter with mild dish soap
and warm water and gently dry the filter before
reinstalling it.
Propane System
To ensure proper operation, have the propane
system checked frequently for leaks and road
damage. The entire system, including regulator
pressure, should be checked annually or sooner if
you suspect a problem. Have the system checked by
a qualified propane service technician using proper
equipment. The method of checking the system for
leaks and propane safety precautions can be found
in the Identification and Safety section.
NOTE: Line pressure for propane appliances
should be checked at least every six months. Most
propane suppliers have equipment to test the lines.
The optimum line pressure for all camper propane
appliances is 11 inches of water column pressure.
Wiring
Make sure the connector-plug prongs and
receptacles are clean. Lightly coat all electrical
terminal connections with non-conducting
(dielectric), light waterproof grease. Clean the
prongs with very fine sandpaper, being careful not
to damage the contact area.
Battery(s)
Your camper is outfitted with a battery(s) that
operates lighting or other accessories. The battery(s)
may be kept charged either by the truck, by the
generator, or shore power.
A disconnect switch is provided to disconnect the
battery(s) when you do not plan to be using the
camper for an extended period, such as seasonal
storage.
The battery must be kept in a charged condition
during storage. The battery could freeze and break
if it becomes discharged.
Interior Maintenance
Interior Odor
New campers may have a strong odor and even
cause eye irritation when closed in hot weather.
This is due to glues used in the cabinetry and
paneling. This condition passes with time but in an
extreme condition open the entry door and all
windows and allow the inside to air out for several
hours.
Upholstery and Drapes
Draperies, mattress covers, upholstery and wall
pads are manufactured from quality materials and
should be dry cleaned only. Some dry-cleaning
methods will damage vinyl or plastic found on
cushions and drapes. Be sure to consult your local
cleaners. Frequent vacuuming or light brushes
between cleanings will help prevent accumulation
of dirt and grime. Use of water based or detergent
based cleaners may cause shrinking. Water stains
may become permanent. Minor spills should be
cleaned up quickly to avoid staining. The affected
area should be blotted, not rubbed, to prevent the
stain from working deeper into the fabric. On vinyl
upholstery, remove dirt and dust with a vacuum
cleaner. Wipe the vinyl with a soft cloth and
dampen in a solution of mild soap and water. Use
the same solution with a soft-bristle brush on more
difficult spots. You can also use commercially-
available spray or foam-type vinyl cleaners.
