_ The materials used inside your motor home have beenBelected for durabil-
ity and comfort. With reasonable care, these materials will stand up under
years of recreational living. The "INTERIOR MAIN'fENANCE" chapter in
this manual outlines care requirements for the various upholstery fabrics,
floor, cabinet, and wall finishes.
EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OCCUPANCY
-
Your motor home was designed primatily for recreational use and short
term occllpancy. If you intend to occupy the motor home for an extended
. period, you should understand that the additional wear will cause premature
deterioration of structure, interior finishes, fabrics, carpeting, drapes, appli-
ances and fixtures. You should also be prepared to deal with condensation and
the humjd conditions thatmaybe encountered. The relatively small volume,
and tight, compact construction of modern recreational vehicles mean that
- normal living activities of even a few occupants will lead to rapid saturation
of the air, and the appearance of visible moisture, especially in cold weather.
Just as moisture collects gn the outside of a glass of cold water during humid
weather, moisture can condense on the inside surfaces of your motor. home
during use in cold weather when humidity of the interior air is high.
Water vapor will condense on the inside of the windows and walls as
moisture, or in cold weather as frost or ice. It may also condense out of sight
within the walls or the ceiling where it will manifest itself as stained panels.
Appearance of these conditions indicates a condensation problem. When you
recognize the signs of excessive moisture and condensation, you should take·
action to minimize their effects.
