beauty (no wood sealants are used) and may be cleaned
by using soap and water. Do not immerse board in
water, store above sink containing water or expose to
continuous sunlight.
Counter Tops
Corian Top Care
Since Corian is a non-porous material, many food and
household chemical stains wipe off with a sponge and
soapy water. Stubborn stains like coffee, grape juice, ink
and food coloring rub off with abrasive household cleaner.
Laminate Top Care
For cleaning laminate surfaces, use a mild dishwashing
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 textures. Never use harsh
detergents or abrasive cleaners on walls or ceilings.
Most surfaces will clean with a soft cloth moistened with
mild liquid detergent in warm water. Do not use large
amounts of water which could saturate the material.
Bathtub And Plastic Shower Stall
Some cleaners attack the plastic causing it to discolor
and become brittle. The following cleaners have been
tested and approved when mixed with water: Distilled
vinegar, mild dishwasher detergent, or liquid deodoriz-
ing cleaner. Avoid cleaners with any level of abrasives,
acetone or MEK (methyl ethyl ketone).
Floors And Carpeting
Vinyl flooring requires only washing and periodic wax-
ing. Vacuum carpeting regularly, and clean it with a
51
quality carpet cleaner. Do not use water or waxes mixed
with water on wood floor.
Engine Access
The top of the engine may be accessed for service by
removing the engine cover.

CONOLAM® SIDEWALLS
The sidewalls ofthis motor home are built with Conolam®.
Conolam® is a very dense fiber and polymer material
that is strong, light weight and water-resistant. It's high
strength permits a thinner wall cross section while
providing strength superior to most wood products.
The cabinets and other components attached to the
motor home sidewalls are attached with rivets rather
than screws. Since the Conolam® material is about the
same thickness as sheetmetal, screws do not hold well,
and may pull through the material. For this type of
material, rivets are an ideal fastener.
If you want to attach items to the interior walls. YOU
MUST USE RIVETS. A supply of these rivets is in-
cluded in your motor home. The rivets can be installed
with a hand-operated riveting tool such as the ArroW®E-
Z Pull® Model RH200. This and similar tools are avail-
able in most hardware stores and home improvement
centers.
CAUTION
Do not use any type of screw to attach items
to either the interior or exterior of your mo-
tor home. Due to the thickness of the
Conolam@,ordinaryscrewsdonotholdwell.
The use of screws may damage the interior
or exterior wall surface.
