Walls And Ceiling Panels; Attaching Accessories To Your Motor Home - Fleetwood Southwind 1999 Owner's Manual

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.
The sidewalls of your motor home are built with a dense
fiber and polymer panel or rigid wood panel used as a sub-
strate to the exterior fiberglass or interior finish surface.
The cabinets and other components attached to the motor
home sidewalls are attached with rivets rather than screws.
Since the sidewall materials are 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 fas-
tener.
If you want to attach items to the interior walls, YOU MUST
USE RIVETS. A supply of these rivets is included 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 available in most hardware stores
and home improvement centers.
When you install a component, carefully mark the hole loca-
tion and drill a
716"
hole where the rivet is to be located.
If you need additional rivets, contact your Fleetwood dealer.
Ask for service part number 075632.
