Section 9: Motorhome Maintenance; Exterior & Roof - Regency ULTRA Owner's Manual

MOTORHOME MAINTENANCE
MOTORHOME MAINTENANCE
EXTERIOR AND ROOF
The roof is manufactured with a bowed aluminum
frame and constructed using a laminated 'sandwich'
method. It is strong enough to support the weight of
an average adult if it becomes necessary to repair
the roof or any of the roof mounted components.
Avoid carrying large, heavy objects onto the roof.
The additional strain of the weight along with the
movement of the vehicle could cause damage to the
roof.
Check the roof regularly for possible leaks, especially
the sealant around the vents, air conditioners, body-
to-roof seams, etc.
Immediately repair any suspected leaks. Any leakage
could result in damage to the interior of the
motorhome.
Underbody
Mud and dirt mixed with corrosive materials used to
control dust or ice on the roads can accumulate
underneath your motorhome and cause premature
deterioration and rusting.
In addition, any build up will add unnecessary weight
to the motorhome.
Rinse and flush the undercarriage and the entire
underbody every time you wash the motorhome.
Washing, Waxing and Polishing
Damaging salts, calcium chloride, road tar, tree sap,
insects and other foreign material can accumulate on
the body of your motorhome.
To reduce the harmful effects of these agents, wash
the motorhome frequently and thoroughly using
mild soap and warm water.

REGENCY ULTRA MOTORHOME
Do not wash the exterior in direct sunlight and never
use hot water.
Avoid using pressure washers because they can
loosen decals and sealants.
Regularly wax your RV to reduce the negative effects
of UV exposure on the exterior fiberglass parts.
Carefully inspect all caulking around windows, doors,
vents, and all other joints. Re-caulk if necessary,
using the correct caulking material available from
your Regency RV dealer.
If water fails to bead on the surface of the
motorhome, it is time to polish and wax it.
This will not only improve the appearance of your
motorhome, but will also protect the painted
surfaces from oxidation and corrosion making it
easier to wash.
NOTICE
These instructions are provided as a general
guideline only and may not be complete.
To ensure proper service and safety, always take
your motorhome to an authorized Regency RV
dealer service center.
