Interior; Condensation; Slideout - Jayco Jay Feather 2005 Owner's Manual

Interior

The material used on the interior of the tents is a 100% polyester backing. This material
contains inhibitors that help prevent the growth of mildew on the fabric. It is not
mildew-proof. Mildew or fungus may attach to the material, however, the material will aid
in preventing the growth. If mildew does attach itself to the fabric, brush the mildew dust
with a soft bristle brush making sure there is plenty of ventilation and air circulation. Using
a mild soap and water solution, thoroughly clean the area. Rinse with clean water.
I
CAUTION: Use of bleach or products containing bleach could
potentially damage the tent material causing it to rot away. If such
products are used, make sure that the cleaning is followed by several
thorough rinses with clean water.

Condensation

Condensation can
prevalent in trailers if proper
ventilation is not used. It can
exist whether or not a heater
is used. During periods of
rain, avoid contact with the
tent. The natural body oils in
skin will neutralize the tent
waterproofing and cause the
rain to soak through. We recommend that you leave a small opening in each bunk zipper to
permit air to flow through and allow the tent to "breathe." (Fig. 36) This will help minimize
moisture gathering above the bunk area on the vinyl.
Use only breathable fabric camper covers, such as those available through your
independent, authorized dealer, when storing your camper.

SLIDEOUT

Your slideout system has been designed to require very little
maintenance. To ensure a long life of your slideout system, read,
understand and follow these simple instructions.
I
CAUTION: Do not work on your electric slideout
system unless the battery is disconnected.
• When the slideout is extended, visually inspect the inner
slide rail assemblies. Check for excess build-up of dirt or
other foreign material; remove any debris that may be present.
• If the system squeaks or makes any noise, apply a coat of lightweight oil to the drive
shaft and roller areas. Remove excess oil so dirt does not build-up/
• In the event of trouble with the electric slideout system, install the hand crank on the
hex head screw on the end of the motor. (Fig. 37) Turn the crank to move the room
into the travel position. Install the travel bars to secure the room in place. Consult
with your independent, authorized dealer for assistance with repair.
