Foretravel Owners Manual
17. All propane pipes and appliances should be checked and maintained ac-
cording to manufacturer's instructions. Any leaks should be repaired im-
mediately. Propane can be dangerous if not properly cared for. We have
equipped your motorhome with the best safety devices known to us, but
you must heed their warning and make necessary corrective steps when re-
quired.
18. All your motorhome appliances have complete instruction manuals in your
owner's packet. If you will take the time to read these manuals and make
yourself familiar with the operation and care of each, you will save yourself
some unnecessary service expenses, not to mention some aggravating prob-
lems.
19. Your motorhome is made of the best materials and workmanship. With a
little care it will give you many enjoyable years of service. Although the
shell is made of fiberglass, there are a few places where leaks can occur. It
is very important that you correct any leaks you may notice to prevent other
damages from occurring. Make it a practice to repair any leaks at once and
check all points subject to leaks at least once a year. If the caulking looks
bad, remove old caulking, clean and re-caulk. Make sure all points where
water might leak behind the fiberglass skin, windows, end caps, trim, wind-
shield, antennas, vents, air conditioners, etc. have a waterproof seal.
Motorhomes, due to their size, are subjected to a great deal of stress while
traveling over bumps in the roads. This alone can cause a leak to form in the
old caulking. Double check the danger points for leaks for a positive long life
of your motorhome.

The life of the exterior finish can be extended by maintaining it with a
clear commercially available automotive wax. This not only preserves the fi-
berglass finish and paint, but allows easier removal of dirt and road tars. The
use of touch-up paint for small areas keeps the recreational vehicle in like-new
condition.
CAUTION - Wait one year after the vehicle's manufactured date before
waxing. (see 2-4)
If you park where a heavy salt spray is evident, it's advisable to wash the
vehicle frequently.

OUR
OACH
Pre-wash the vehicle with cold water.
Use a mild soap and rinse often.
Do not use caustic cleaners. Do not assume all cleaning agents are harm-
less.
Use high-pressure washers correctly. (A high pressure washer turned on a
chip or ding in the paint can blow the paint off and do more damage.)
