CARAVAN MOVERS

If thinking of installing shock absorbers or a
caravan mover as an after fit it is advisable
to consult your dealer, as this may not be
possible with shock absorbers (if fitted).

CARAVAN EXTERIOR

Aluminium Panels
The stove enamelled paintwork is very durable
and easy to clean owing to the high gloss
properties.
Plastic Panels (GRP/ABS)
These are used for front and rear panels and,
in some cases for the roof.

Cleaning
For both aluminium panels and plastic panels.
1. Wash the caravan regularly with mild
detergent. Rinse with cold water and
leather off.
2. For better protection a similar coloured
good quality car wax may be applied.
For sealed areas a mild soap is the best way
to clean without affecting the sealant.
Acid or alkaline based cleaners or solvents
should not be used.
WARNING: Under no circumstances use
any abrasive cleaning agents or solvents on
the exterior panels.
Care should be taken as the silicon in some
polishes can attack the rubber used on the
exterior for seals and gaskets.
Acrylic Windows
Wash windows carefully, as you would with the
paintwork of your car, do not scrub windows
prior to removing surface dirt and film with a
hose pipe - trapped dirt could
cause scratching.
Wash with a solution of warm soapy water,
windows can then be dried off with a leather.
Small scratches can be removed, consult
your dealer.
Catches and stays do not require any special
attention or lubrication.
Acrylic (Plastic) Window Condensation
Unlike domestic double glazed windows,
your caravan window are not vacuum sealed
instead the double panes of acrylic plastic with
are fitted with a breathable plug on the inner
pane.
It is possible, in weather where extremes
in temperatures occur between night and
day, that customer will notice condensation
between the panes. The same phenomenon
may also occur when washing your vehicle on
a hot day.
