'CARPETING
Vacuum carpeting regularly, and clean it with a quality carpet
cleaner.
FIXTURES
Clean sinks, baths, showers or other fiberglass fixtures with
warm water and mild detergent or special cleaners only. Harsh
abrasives may scratch or discolor the surface, causing it to have
to be refinished or replaced. Do not use ammonia, or any
cleaner containing ammonia on fiberglass. If a fiberglass surface
becomes chipped or scratched, it can often be repaired
successfully by your local serviceman. Minor repairs can often be
done by owners themselves using repair kits available in a
variety of colors and finishes at most hardware or paint stores.
WINDOWS
Keep moving parts of windows and latches adjusted and
maintained. Lubricate the windows with a light oil or powdered
graphite at least once a year. The screws holding the windows in
place should be checked and tightened periodically and the
weather sealant checked for voids. Clean screens by gently
wiping with a damp cloth or soft flat brush designed for the
purpose.
CEILING VENTILATORS
Clean leaves and other debris from the screens by removing the
two Phillips-head screws, and remove the screens. Remove
large debris, and carefully wipe the screen surface with a damj)""
cloth.
LOCKSETS AND LATCHES

operation. If your motorhome is located at the beach or is
exposed to salt air, more frequent lubrication may be needed.

powdered graphite, available in a handy tube at most hardware
or supply stores.
