(If Equipped) - Fleetwood American Eagle 2006 Owner's Manual

The adhesives and sealants used in the construc-
tion of your motor home were developed to
remain waterproof under sustained effects of
weather and vibration. However, even the finest
materials will eventually dry out and lose their
effectiveness.

NOTE
I
Failure to seal could cause serious damage and will
affect your warranty coverage.
Your dealer can perform the resealing inspection
and work for you. Your dealer also has current
information on sealants used in your motor
home, and can recommend the appropriate
sealants for you if you prefer to do this work
yourself. Always use the recommended sealants.
DOOR, WINDOW, ROOF
COMPONENT AND MOLDING
RESEALING
Inspect the sealants around windows, floors,
joints and doors at least every three months.
Also inspect roof vents, other roof components,
moldings at front and rear caps, and perimeter
molding. If any of the following defects are
evident during inspection, the affected areas
must be resealed.
• Sealant cracked or peeling.
• Void or missing sealant.
If you find any of the above defects:
1. Clean all areas to be resealed with an
appropriate cleaner and clean rags.
2. Make sure that all areas to be resealed are
absolutely dry before new sealant is applied.

NOTE
I
Do not seal the bot/om flanges of windows and doors.
Special gaps in the sealant have been intentionally
left in the bot/om flange to provide drainage.
Maintenance
INTERIOR
Fabrics
Interior appointments such as draperies, bed-
spreads, mattress covers, upholstery and wall
pads are manufactured from high quality materi-
als and should be dry cleaned only. Frequent
vacuuming will keep them free of dust and dirt.
Minor spills should be cleaned up quickly to
avoid staining. The affected area should be blot-
ted, not rubbed, to prevent the stain from work-
ing deeper into the fabric.
A
WARNING
Do not use lacquer thinner, nail polish remover, carbon
tetrachloride, spot remover, gasoline, or naphtha for
any cleaning purpose. These products may cause
damage to the material being cleaned, and may be
highly flammable or poisonous.
Solid Surface Top Care
(If Equipped)
The counter top is constructed of a solid surface
material that requires little care. Routine care
involves wiping the surface with a damp cloth to
remove water marks. For stains, wipe with soapy
water or ammonia-based cleaners. Do not use
abrasive cleansers or steel wool.
Laminate Top Care
(If Equipped)
For cleaning laminate surfaces, uses mild dish-
washing liquid with warm water. Use a soft
cloth for both washing and drying.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or gritty
cleaners or damage will occur to the surface.
Walls and Ceiling Panels
The paneling and the ceiling of your motor
home may be any of several finishes and tex-
tures. Never use harsh detergents or abrasive
cleaners on walls or ceilings. Most surfaces will
clean with a soft cloth moistened with mild liq-
uid detergent in warm water, or a clear window
cleaner solution. Do not scrub the surface or use
