ROOF CARE & MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of your Van including your roof is important for sustained trouble-free
performance. Normal maintenance is simple and easy and does not require special materials.
The roof of the Van is metal and can be cared for in the conventional manner. Clean the roof at least
every three months. The roof should be professionally inspected by a dealer annually.

MOISTURE MAINTENANCE

This section outlines important recommendations to manage moisture in your Van to avoid moisture
related damage such as mold. The materials and methods used to construct your Van were selected in
part to minimize air leakage and to create a weather tight exterior shell.
However in order to protect your investment and reduce the risk of moisture related damage and costly
repairs, attention and care has to be taken to manage moisture inside of your Van.
NOTE: These are only suggestions intended to minimize moisture related issues with your Van. If any
concerns arise, contact Tiffin Motor Homes' Service Department

INTERIOR CARE

Signs of excessive moisture can be obvious, such as water droplets forming on surfaces or wet carpet.
Conversely, signs of excess moisture can be subtle, such as condensation forming on metal surfaces.
When symptoms appear, it is important to immediately determine the cause of the excess moisture and
take appropriate corrective action to prevent moisture related damage.

CONDENSATION

Use only RV odor-controlling chemicals in the
holding tanks. Products containing ammonia
and petroleum will damage the ABS plastic
holding tanks and seals.
Damage may occur to your vehicle if excessive condensation exists. Accumulation of condensation on
surfaces within your Van occurs when warm, moist air contacts a cool surface. It is most evident on the
inside of windows, but this problem can be controlled by:
Slightly opening a window or roof vent to allow the moisture to escape from the motor home.
A small dehumidifier is also very effective in removing moisture from the air.
