Motorhome Interior - Swift Motorhome Owners Service Manual

New vehicles
New motorhomes often take a long time
before they are fully 'dried out' because
of moisture in the materials used in the
manufacture. While this is happening they
need extra heat and ventilation. At least during
the first winter trips and may require more
heat than they will need in subsequent winters
journeys. Allowance should be made for this.
Changing Exterior Bulbs
Always replace like for like.
For individual replacement bulb specification,
refer to your Service Handbook.

Soft Furnishings
Should be vacuumed occasionally to
remove grit and sand and help to keep its
smart appearance over the lifetime of the
upholstery. The upholstery can be cleaned
with a mild, reputable upholstery cleaner. It is
recommended that the curtains and pelmets
are specialist cleaned only. The foam used
in cushions is manufactured to meet fire
regulations. It requires time to return to its
normal position after prolonged use.
Leather care
Leather furniture, in a normal contract
and domestic environment, requires little
maintenance, although obviously leather in
lighter shades will need more attention.
M O T ORH OME INT E R IOR
Regular care of leather does ensure its lasting
quality and some general rules for regular
cleaning and maintenance are:
• Clean the leather with a soft damp cloth
taking care not to soak the leather.
• For a more thorough clean, use the Bridge
of Weir Leather Cleaning and Protection kite
available directly from the distribution centre.
• Do not use saddle soap, wax polishes or
spray polishes.
• Do not use any product or any method
of cleaning not recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Avoid letting any buckles, studs and zips
come into direct contact with the furniture.
• Avoid drying out the leather by taking extra
care where there is heating or an open
fireplace.
Note: The above cleaning instruction DO
NOT apply to Nubuck Suede or any other
uncoated leather.
Impala Fabric (Model specific)
The Impala fabric fitted to some Swift Group
products is a luxury stain resistant durable
fabric.
In most cases, wet wipes are enough to clean
a stain from the fabric, however, for certain
stains stronger solutions are required.
Care Instructions
General dirt and stains
1. Firstly, excess liquid should be blotted
with an absorbent paper or cloth so as to
remove most of the liquid from the surface.
After this, rub the fabric gently with a white
paper or white cloth to absorb the remaining
dampness.
2. The easiest way to clean is using a wet
wipe or using a clean white cloth dampened
with plain water. Gently rub the area of
stain using small circular motions. Do not
soak the fabric in the solution as excessive
soaking can cause damage. More persistent
