Maintenance; Exterior - Fleetwood Southwind 1999 Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE
Your motor home has been designed to provide you with
many years of use with a minimum amount of maintenance.
This section will familiarize you with the areas of your
motor home that require scheduled care. Time spent taking
care of your motor home on a regular basis will pay for itself
in extended service and will help protect your investment.
If you are mechanically inclined and regularly perform rou-
tine maintenance and repairs on your car or truck, you may
want to do the mechanical work on your motor home your-
self. If you prefer, your dealer can perform these services for
you. His trained personnel will assure that your motor home
is maintained and repaired in keeping with original perfor-
mance expectations.
This section is intended to provide the owner and operator
with a general overview of service and maintenance informa-
tion for the motor home. Detailed service and maintenance
information may be found in the owner's/operator's manuals
contained in the Owner's Information Package.
While the information in this section is intended to establish
proper maintenance and inspection procedures, there may be
times when detailed diagnostic and repair procedures may be
required. Consult your dealer or an authorized Fleetwood .
Service Center in these situations.
Some exterior parts of your motor home are made of fiber-
glass. The finish on these parts is durable, but not indestruc-
tible. Any material and finish will deteriorate in time.
Exposure to sunlight, moisture and airborne pollutants can
cause dulling and fading of the finish. Generally, changes in
the finish due to weathering are cosmetic - they are on the
surface of the part and do not affect its strength. Weathering
can take the form of chalking, fading and yellowing.
