Maintenance
water or ammonia-based cleaners. Remove stub-
born stains on the "matte/satin" finish with an
abrasive cleanser.
Laminate Top Care
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 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, or a clear window cleaner solution.
Do not scrub the surface or use large amounts of
water which could saturate the material. Simply
spray or apply the solution to the spot and blot
with a clean dry rag or paper towel. Aggressive
scrubbing may damage the texture or pattern.
Attaching Accessories to
Your Motor Home
The sidewalls of your motor home are built with
a dense fiber and polymer panel or rigid wood
panel used as a substrate to the exterior fiber-
glass or interior finish surface.
Structural members are located specifically to
mount and attach factory-installed components
and accessories, and may not be located to accom-
modate after-market accessories not specifically
designed for use on or in your motor home.
Exterior: Please consult with your dealer before
attempting to install or mount accessories on the
sidewalls or roof of your motor home. Holes
drilled in the sidewall may cause damage,
and may affect portions of your warranty.
Interior: If you want to attach items to the inte-
rior walls, YOU MUST USE RIVETS. The
rivets can be installed with a hand-operated tool
such as the Arrow E-Z Pull Model RH200. This
and similar tools are available in most hardware
stores and home improvement centers.

(If Equipped)
When you install a component, carefully mark
the hole location and drill a 3/16" hole where
the rivet is to be located.
If you need rivets, contact your Fleetwood dealer.
CAUTION
Do not use any type of screw to attach items to
the interior or exterior walls of your motor home. If
you want to attach items to the walls, you must use
expanding head type rivets. Rivet quantity, length, and
grip range, will vary depending on item to be attached.

Plastic/Fiberglass 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
• Liquid deodorizing cleaner.
Avoid cleaners that contain any amount of abra-
sives, acetone or MEK (methyl ethyl ketone).

Floors and Carpeting

Vinyl flooring requires only washing and periodic
waxing. Vacuum carpeting regularly, and clean it
with a quality carpet cleaner. Do not use water or
waxes mixed with water on the wood floor.
Wood Floor
(If Equipped)
Floors are natural resting places for dust, dirt,
grit, and food spills. Dirt underfoot causes abra-
sions. Therefore, keep the floor clean and use
exterior walk off mats at the entry door, and:
• Immediately blot up spills or spots with a
damp cloth.
• Periodically clean the floor with Anderson
Quick Kleen. Follow the instructions on the
container.
Your wood floor can be damaged by a number
of things, including:
• Water - Do not wet mop the wood floor
• Oil soap or other waxes and polishes
