Generally, one ounce (1 oz.) is all you need per five-gallon bucket of water. Add one cup of food grade distilled white vinegar to your wash bucket. Tiffin Motorhomes recommends the lamb’s wool pad sold by Mary Moppins . This enables you to safely wash your coach from the ground by placing the pad on an extension. -
Page 110: Seals
If deterioration is noted during a routine maintenance inspection, reseal the seams or seals with an approved sealant to prevent leaks. Your Tiffin Motorhomes dealer can perform resealing inspections and subsequent work for you. Tiffin Motorhomes recommends that a Tiffin Motorhomes authorized service center perform these inspections periodically and perform necessary resealing when necessary. -

INTERIOR CARE OF YOUR RV : 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-tight damage. -
Page 113: Cleaning Floors
IMPORTANT: Be sure the carpet is thoroughly dry before closing the RV for storage. Water from the cleaning process can cause significant damage to the RV if the carpet is not completely dry before closing the motorhome for an extended period. CLEANING FLOORS: Most floors only require a mild detergent and warm water for cleaning. -

• Because moisture is key to mold issues, treat all signs of condensation and spills seriously and deal with promptly. Failure to deal with a moisture issue promptly might cause more severe issues where none initially existed or might make a small problem much worse. •... - Page 116 • Fundamental characteristics of tires. • Tire safety tips. Use this information to make tire safety a regular part of your vehicle maintenance routine. Recognize that the time you spend is minimal compared with the inconvenience and safety consequences of a flat tire or other tire failure. Safety First-Basic Tire Maintenance: Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle.
- Page 117 Checking Tire Pressure: It is important to check your vehicle’s tire pressure at least once a month for the following reasons: • Most tires naturally lose air over time. • Tires can lose air suddenly if you drive over a pothole or other object, or if you strike the curb when parking.
- Page 118 Tire Size To maintain tire safety, purchase new tires that are of the same size as the vehicle’s original tires or another size recommended by the manufacturer. Look at the tire information placard, the owner’s manual, or the sidewall of the tire you are replacing to find this information. If you have any doubt about the correct size to choose, consult with the tire dealer.

- Page 120 Information on Passenger Vehicle Tires (Figure 16-3): NOTE: Passenger car tires are not recommended for use on trailers, because the capacity ratings are not marked on the side walls of these tires. If a passenger car tire is used, the capacity must be de-rated by 10%.
- Page 121 M+S—The “M+S” or “M/S” indicates that the tire has some mud and snow capability. Most radial tires have these markings. Speed Rating—The speed rating denotes the speed at which a tire is designed to be driven for extended periods of time. U.S.

If more cargo or people are being transported, water can be off-loaded to keep the total amount of cargo added to the vehicle within the limits of the GVWR to not overload the vehicle. Understanding this flexibility will allow you to make choices that fit your travel and camping needs. When loading your cargo, be sure it is distributed evenly to prevent overloading from front to back and side-to-side.

Make sure your tire valves have valve caps. Check tire pressure before going on a long trip. Do not overload your vehicle. Check the Tire Information and Loading Placard or User’s Manual for the maximum recommended load for the vehicle. SECTION TWO: Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit: •... - Page 124 Cord separation—The parting of cords from adjacent rubber compounds. Cracking—Any parting within the tread, sidewall, or inner liner of the tire extending to cord material. CT—A pneumatic tire with an inverted flange tire and rim system in which the rim is designed with rim flanges pointed radially inward and the tire is designed to fit on the underside of the rim in a manner that encloses the rim flanges inside the air cavity of the tire.

Tread rib—A tread section running circumferentially around a tire. Tread separation—Pulling away of the tread from the tire carcass. - Page 127 Maintaining correct tire pressure for each loaded wheel position on the motorhome is critically important and must be a part of regular vehicle maintenance. Tire Maximum Load Rating: Federal law requires that the maximum load rating be molded into the sidewall of the tire. If you look at a tire sidewall, you might see some “typical”...
- Page 128 Figure 16-4: Motorhome Weighing Procedures NOTE: Tire manufacturer’s load and inflation tables can be found on the sidewall of the tires mounted on the motorhome. NOTE: If the motorhome has duals, read dual capacity from the tire and multiply by 2 (two) to obtain dual-assembly load-carrying capacity.
- Page 129 Frequency of Checking Tire Inflation Pressures: When you have determined the “correct” tire inflation pressures for each of the motorhome tires (Figure 16-5 and Figure 16-6) and inflated the tires under “cold” conditions, meaning the tires haven’t been driven for more than one mile, then the air pressures in the tires must be periodically checked to make sure that they retain their proper pressures.
