Exterior Ladder - Jayco SWIFT 2023 Owner's Manual

Do not allow plastic to come into contact with brake fluid, engine oil, grease,
paint thinner, or battery acid. These will damage plastic. Use a soft cloth and
a mild detergent solution to wipe away any such contact.
Chrome parts
To prevent chrome parts from spotting or corroding, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and
apply a non-abrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a
commercially available chrome polish product.
Frame
Frames receive heavy abuse from road conditions such as sand, pebbles, objects in the high-
way, and/or ice inhibiting chemicals, all of which will cause chipping and a blasting effect on
the painted surface. Frames will show signs of rust much sooner when exposed to salty air.
Periodically rinse off the frame (or as use requires) removing road grime, tar, oil, mud or salt.
Refer to your Chassis Guide for the chassis manufacturer's maintenance instructions.
Exterior Roof and Sidewall Vents
Inspect the roof vents, including sealants for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the holding
tank vents for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. All exterior access doors
and vents need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect nests, mud daubers, etc.)
while the appliances are in use.
Windows
To avoid exhaust gas entry into the motor home, keep windows closed when
the chassis or generator engines are running.
Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially during heavy rainstorms or
while driving. This is normal and water should only be seen in the lower track portion of the
window frame. Condensation will also cause water to accumulate on windows and in the
tracks. Ensure that the escape window latches are properly adjusted (the window will pop
open if not adjusted tight enough).
